Before 1510 everyone believed that the earth is the centre of the 'universe'. Nicolaus Copernicus discovered that the Sun—not the Earth— is the gravitation center of our solar system
This model marked a major paradigm shift in astronomy and human thought—decentering humans from the cosmic center and laying the foundation for modern science.

500 years later, in 2010, Cas Olivier introduced a paradigm shift just as radical—this time in education. He discovered that the gravitation center of learning is NOT the teacher, the textbook, or the curriculum. The Instead, the gravitation center of learning is the learner’s brain.
This model marked a major paradigm shift in education—decentering the teacher from the learning process and laying the foundation for brain-aligned, self-directed learning.

Just as the accelerating universe redefined our sense of scale, the shift to brain-centred learning disrupts the boundaries of traditional education.
It reveals that the true gravitational force of learning and like the cosmos, is not static — it is expanding.
Just as AI now mirrors and amplifies human cognition, Thinking Tools provides a blueprint for education that is not content-driven, but
cognition-driven—where learning becomes adaptive, expansive, and limitless.
This is not merely a new method. It is a recalibration of education to match the scale of the brain—and the scale of the future.

The article by Cas Olivier was published in the January 2025 issue of STEM Magazine under the title "The Need for Brain-based Learning: Addressing Modern Educational Concerns."
STEM Magazine is a world-leading publication on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, read in 74 countries.
One of the most groundbreaking discoveries in our Foundation Phase is the brain’s innate Chronosensor and how it impacts on maths, reading of time, writing sentences and other subjects.
