Omar Khayyam: The Genius Who Dared to Question Destiny | Golden Age & Lost Verses

Welcome to The Failure Chronicles, a podcast where we explore the hidden lessons behind failure, resilience, and the human journey.
In today’s reflection episode, we travel back nearly a thousand years — to the world of Omar Khayyam, the Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and poet whose ideas still echo through time.

In this episode, we uncover:
🌿 The life of Khayyam in 11th-century Persia — from Nishapur to Isfahan
🪶 How his work shaped the Jalali Calendar, one of the most accurate ever created
📚 The mystery of his Rubaiyat, the verses that questioned fate, faith, and meaning
💭 Why Khayyam’s ideas still resonate with modern existentialism and nihilism
⚖️ The fine line between science, spirituality, and rebellion in medieval Iran

Next episode: a fictional “interview” with Khayyam himself — powered by AI and philosophy, where we imagine his answers to timeless human questions.
