Cosmic Revelations: How Al-Khwarizmi's Algorithms and Cecilia Payne's Stars Rewrote History

In this Eternal Echoes chapter, Dr. Hakeem Alexander unveils cosmology's hidden architects:

- Ancient myth-makers: Sumerian/Egyptian celestial divination (4500 BCE)

- Geocentric overthrow: Aristotle → Ptolemy → Al-Khwarizmi (who gave us algorithms and algebra)

- Scientific revolution: Galileo's moons → Kepler's laws → Newton's universal gravity

- 20th-century leaps: Einstein's relativity → Hubble's expansion → Cecilia Payne's hydrogen-helium discovery

- Why Payne's Harvard breakthrough (1925) was dismissed despite proving stars' elemental truth

A corrective journey through 6,000 years of cosmological evolution—where Persian mathematics and women's erased genius finally take center stage.
