Isaac Newton and #Yorùbá

Are you aware that Isaac Newton made notable contributions to the world especially in science.

From #Yorùbá perspective, there are three laws of motion by Isaac Newton and everything has a relation with #Yorùbá proverb.

First law :

@Yorubaness Everybody remains in its state of rest unless compel to change by an external force.

Yorùbá Proverb : Ẹni tí ń sùn, kìí sún.

@psammieT @YorubaHeartland Originally, the odù are 8 in numbers and when turned upside down to generate another 8 odù (odus), making a total of 16.

Further, these 16 odus (odù merindinlogun tí ń bẹ lotu ìfẹ́) are paired (pairwise connection) to generate 256 odus (16*16=256), which is a square matrix.. @psammieT @YorubaHeartland ..with distinct entries of pairs.

Each of these odù has a prescribed interpretation which has been studied over years (just as science : observations, hypothesis, experimentation,etc which are more of oral literature).

Further, pairs give better information....
