The World Philosophical Mathematics Research Center AKA Sudoku is NOTHING

Sunday 7th February, 2010 Quick, thing of the most incredibly interesting person you have ever met in your life. Now, think of the smartest person you ever met. Finally, think of the person with the most passion you have ever met in your life.

Now, take all three of those people, and put them into one person. Then, you may begin to understand what meeting Prof. Dr. M. Sediq Afghan is like.

Prof. Dr. Afghan runs The World Philosophical Mathematics Research Center here in Kabul, Afghanistan. For anyone that thinks that he may be a little ambitious with that title, you couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, I think the title may actually be an understatement.

Please understand, that I’m not sure I can even begin to capture the experience I had today with the Prof. Dr. He is, by far, the most unique person I have ever met in my life. His passion and his insight are a spectacle to be experienced in of themselves.

We first arrived at The World Philosophical Mathematics Research Center
(WPMRC) not knowing what to expect. We were walked around a few older rooms in buildings that didn’t seem to be anything special. Finally, we were brought into Prof. Dr. Afghan’s office. The office was spectacularly decorated for a Kabul office. It is the first place I have seen have such an array of plant life and books since I arrived here.

We were originally told that he would be right with us. As we were served tea and candies, we started looking at the charts on the wall. Each chart was a study in mathematics itself. I can’t begin to explain them to you. Instead I took a bunch of photos and created a separate web album that you can look at. Here is the link…

I will try to talk about the more interesting ones. First, you must understand that “Philosophical Mathematics” is a study that tries to tie all events into mathematical charts and tables. Prof. Dr. Afghan more than delivers on this.

At this time, we were told that Prof. Dr. Afghan was a little late as he was returning from the Afghani Presidential Palace from a meeting with President Hamid Karzai.

Look at this chart. It was created after that Denmark paper printed the comic of Mohammad a few years ago.



Here is a collection of cubes that lists all the American Presidents and some of the data on their presidencies (this was completed prior to our current president.) These cubes are not the actual model, they only show every combination that they real model will form. Each block is made up of many smaller blocks. By manipulating the cube certain ways, you get the other cubes from the original one. So each of these cubes (there are seven in total) form each other from a single cube. I assure you my explanation isn’t doing it justice.

  

This next chart was just one in a series of charts on the United States (I told you it really was “Worldly.”) It shows a common formula that works into various dates in American history. You may need to download the picture and zoom into it locally to be able to read it.

Like I said, his math isn’t limited to certain countries. Here is a poster he did for the Russian Government. Many of the Russian Presidents and Soviet Premiers are on an extensive list of people that Prof. Dr. Afghan has personally met with. And if I understood the translator correctly, he also was imprisoned in Russian a few decades ago. In case you are thinking that Prof. Dr. Afghan might be exaggerating his credentials, he pulled out a binder of newspaper articles (most in Russian) with pictures of him throughout the years.
 

Of course, I had to ask to see Prof. Dr. Afghan’s calculator. Turns out it’s a standard Office Depot cheapie. Most of the real work is done on a computer. Which is funny since as I looked for his computer, I only saw a few, VERY old (486 era) computers in the offices.

Here is Prof. Dr. Afghan and me in front of a cube that has 2166 individual cells. Each is a unique number from 1 to 2166. Their position on the cube is in a mathematical order that allows you to take any cell at random, subtract it from the total, and move to the converse side to get that number. This whole cube spins freely and Prof. Dr. Afghan eyes light up like a little child’s in a candy shop when he is demonstrating it.

I really can’t sum up my visit with Prof. Dr. Afghan. He is a paradox among men. He promised me that on my next visit, he will show me his two page paper on how to achieve world piece through mathematics. (He would have shared it this time, but his computer was down and his computer guy wasn’t available.) But I’ll be sure to post it here once I get it.

It makes for such an interesting dichotomy to have a mathematical genius in the capitol city of one of the least educated countries in the world. BTW, Prof. Dr. Afghan is working to bring better education to Afghanistan in many ways. A little side note that Prof. Dr. Afghan points out is that the “Chief” that is over him is barely literate
