"There may be a great significance in the fact that Pythagoras in Greece and the Buddha in the Orient occur at the same time in the 6th Century BC. Both are powerfully, perceptively thinking and acting human individuals who, coming out of a past in which only mystically ordained kings counted and humans were omniexpendable pawns, produced mathematical tools and philosophies forever thereafter to employ."
Buckminster Fuller, American architect, inventor, philosopher and social engineer. The carbon molecule fullerene is named after him.
