Jalaladdin Rumi (1207-1273), one of the greatest geniusesof mankind and the most eminent mystical poet of any age and all time,has composed over 70,000 verses of poetry. His work has been translated intomany languages and is now one of the most widely read poets in America;the more people learned about Rumi, the more they appreciated his depthand were encouraged to dig deeper. This book is also trying to dig deeper;although Rumis name stands for love and ecstatic fl ight into the infi nite,he has also poetized his scientifi c and philosophic concepts and doctrines,which today, after centuries, are established and understood as well knownscientifi c facts. This book attempts to fi ll in the non-recognized gaps, mainlyin the history of physical sciences, covering some important topics in modernscientifi c views.
