50150 - The codes of the century
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias
How could we not think of
Kepler (1571-1630) for the elliptical orbits of the planets,
it was Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) who opened the sky
and the universe expanded
with the instrument we had with us.
Of course there was also Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723)
who showed us the depth of the microcosm…
since he gave us the first image
of bacteria and sperm…
It was difficult to forget Newton (1642-1726),
Pascal (1623-1662), Leibniz (1646-1716)
and Fermat (1601-1665).
Because they had all produced works
which had marked their century
and not that alone.
With their codes
they had created pieces of perfection
which had remained within the history of Humanity
whoever may had invited us
to this online time travel,
he wanted to remind us
the works of this century
and he had not trapped us
since it’s now that we were free,
but he showed us the passage which had caused
a stoppage in order for us to note down memories of the future
in our eonologion.
