"Pythagoras’ religious and scientific views were, in his opinion, inseparably interconnected. However, they are looked at separately in the 21st century. Religiously, Pythagoras was a believer of metempsychosis. He believed in transmigration, or the reincarnation of the soul again and again into the bodies of humans, animals, or vegetables until it became moral. His ideas of reincarnation were probably borrowed from Hinduism. According to him, the soul was a string-like independent number, like a string from String Theory. He was one of the first to propose that the thought processes and the soul were located in the brain and not the heart. He himself claimed to have lived four lives that he could remember in detail, and heard the cry of his dead friend in the bark of a dog."

Perhaps you might better ask "Who was he?"

I'm sure that your computer will allow you enter the name "Pythagoras" in a search engine.

Give that a try. It may have you shouting "Eureka" very soon.
