Anaxagoras was born c. 510 – c. 428 BC in a town called Clazomenae, in Asia Minor. During his early life, he was told to have 30 years remaining of life. Anaxagoras was very enthusiastic for humanity and science. He brought the spirit of scientific inquiry and philosophy from Ionia to Athens. Additionally, he came up with new theories of the universal order because of a search on the moon, which he said that the Earth was floating in space because of a force of air acting upward. He also said that a meteorite was going to crash on Earth. Because of this theory, he created the squaring the circle. This means that in order to solve it you have to construct a square having the same area like the circle given by using only a finite number
