# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 476 CE, Aryabhata published the Āryabhaṭīya at twenty-three, a text that would anchor Indian astronomy for centuries. In it he laid out the place-value system, solved quadratic equations, and computed sine tables with startling precision. He also wrote the Arya-siddhanta, now lost. His assertion that Earth rotates on its axis — and that celestial motion is relative to the observer — marked him as an early physicist, not just a stargazer with an abacus. He died in 550, leaving a body of work that traveled as far as the Islamic world and beyond.
