Today humans are calling this dark ocean the universe. Ever since this discovery there are now astronomers, astrophysicist, and astronauts working towards mankind’s greatest achievement: The International Space Station (ISS). IT began as just an idea in the Industrial Revolution later being grown to a huge project.…

And the new ideas expanded an understanding of the environment in a rational way. In a city of Miletus, modern Turkey nowadays, three western philosophers flourished: Thales, Anaximenes, and Anaximander.

Due to the advancements they have invented, formed, and innovated other technologies, they were able to help create cultures and allow them to live longer and prosper. The…

egg drops, the knowledge of the history of physics, the engineering behind a device, and the mathematics and physics of free-fall is needed. Physics originates in its classical form in Ancient Greece. Thales was the first physicist. The theories Thales made gave the discipline of physics its name. Thales believes that the world, although made of many materials, was really made of only one element: water. The interaction of water between the phases of solid, liquid, and gas gives materials…

Robin Wilson's article “Early Greek Mathematics” explained that around the end of the fifth century BC Thales had predicted a solar eclipse. “In geometry he applied congruent triangles to navigation at sea. He is credited with proving that two angels of an isosceles triangle are equal and that a circle is bisected by a diameter.” (From Early Greek Mathematics by Robin Wilson; paragraph two). Thales used multiple formulas in geometry to predict the solar eclipse. Anaximander was credited with…

From 1100-750 B.C., a period known as the Dark Ages, Ancient Greece was immersed with wars and invasions and, over time, was divided into small, city states. During the Archaic Period (750-500 B.C.), art, the beginnings of democracy, and the knowledge and understanding of…
