Article: The Hierarchy of Nine: Celebrating Adrian Korpel s Ascension towards the Centennial - Here is a narrative poem I wrote in honor of my research advisor, Dr. Adrian Korpel, a scientist, inventor and much more broadly, a rationalist and humanist with an enlightened view of the human world. This was written on the occasion of his 90th birthday in 2022. I am posting here in these pages following Dr. Korpel s passing this year (2023) on October 3rd.It has both scientific and Indian imagery. MRC.
