Episode 10 - Archytas of Tarentum - Things are in Motion

We've learnt already about how the Pythagoreans thought everything was made up of numbers, now it is time to meet the guy that said 'Well why don't we use numbers to describe stuff then?'  The Music is: "Danse Macabre - Finale" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
