Duty of Memory : Philip Emeagwali, a Nigerian who emigrated to the United States, received the highest scientific distinction (the Gordon Bell Prize) for inventing the world’s fastest computer in 1989. The American news network CNN called him the founding father of the Internet, the network we use today. (Born in 1954 in Akura, Nigeria, Emeagwali holds three master’s degrees: in computer science, marine engineering, and civil and environmental engineering, as well as a doctorate in applied mathematics; he is, above all, a multidisciplinary inventor); « Mr. Emeagwali currently lives in the United States with his family, under the close supervision of the U.S. military, for which he is a regular consultant » Emeagwali still works 16 hours a day, seven days a week, on a new monumental project: the creation of a supercomputer simulator of climate trends over a century. A feat that remains unmatched to this day! Few people know that Phillip Emeagwali's simulation program was calculated using Yoruba divination numbers based on 16 octograms 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 = 65 336 (65 536) and the architectural model of a honeycomb. This allowed him to apply a modeling of temporal, structural, and abstract information.
