      DEFINITION A physical phenonmena which is one of the foundation quantities on the earth envolving the electric charge, their movement, and effects. Electrons and protons allow the characterization of electicity by interacting among themselves to have rise to a force field that has potential energy. HOW IT WORKS Elecricity's independency of gravity allows attraction between unsimilar bodies and then seperation. The existence of exceeding electrons over protons within one body and the opposite elecrical entity possessed by the other body causes the force. NEGATIVE ELECTRICITY When the pridominant particle present is the electron, negative elecricity results. The elecrons gather on the surface of a substance. In the nucleus of the sbstance's atoms, the number of electrons surrounding it dominates over the protons, which causes a negative charge to be acquired. POSITIVE ELECTRICITY Protons are the elementary unit within substances that are said to be charged with a postitive electricity. At the surface, the protons within the nucleus have a greater number than the electrons around the outer shell of the nucleus, forming a positive charge.

    Thales of Miletus and the Development of Science in the Greek World Thales was supposedly born in 625 B.C.E. Historians credit him as the first philosopher to account for phenomenon in natural terms. He was the first to apply the principles of logos to his account of the world. Thales proposed that water supplied the underlying reality for the entire cosmos. His account existed as one of the first of a series of accounts that attempted to satisfy the Greek craving for a more physical account of phenomenon. Earlier, knowledge based itself upon the principles of mythos and inspiration. However, with the rise of natural philosophy in Greece, individuals could think of reality as an entity somewhat apart from the seemingly arbitrary will of the Gods. As Anthony Alioto, in his A History of Western Philosophy points out: "Although natural law seems to be an act of legislation by the will of Zeus, the god himself has become a personality, drifting away from the sky he representsas do the other gods. They live upon Mount Olympus in Thessaly, separated from the elements they govern. The implications could be that nature itself, the living and self-changing world the Greeks called...( physis ) is something apart from the gods, like a common stage upon which both humans and gods act out their roles" (25).

    Thales of Miletus
    Born: about 624 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)
    Died: about 547 BC in Miletus, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)
    He was a pre-Socratic philosopher, who specialized in geometry. After being a merchant toward the beginning of his life, his interests shifted to astronomy, then to philosophy, and then to mathematics. Thales calculated the height of the Great Pyramid in Egypt with the sun and a stick. He is also known for his five geometric theorems that state (1) a closed angle circumscribed in a semicircle is a right angle, (2) a diameter bisects a circle, (3) if two sides of a triangle are equal then their bases are equal and vice versa (the definition of an isosceles triangle), (4) the vertical angle theorem, and (5) the theorem for similar triangles: if two triangles have equal angles, then any ratio of corresponding sides has the same value as any other (which is the basis for trigonometry). No direct writings are attributed to him, for they may have been lost or his findings were only recorded by others.

    Propagation of light Solar Eclipses Thales of Miletus: The prediction of eclipses
    Thales of Miletus was a mathematician/astronomer who lived in Greece between 625 and 545 BC. He was very famous and credited with numerous fundamental theorems on geometry: congruent triangles, base angles of an isosceles triangle...
    On May 25, 585 BC, during a war between the Medes and the Lydians, a solar eclipse occurred. The darkness was so intense that it interrupted the hostilities. Surprisingly enough, the eclipse had been predicted by Thales of Miletus. He had predicted the date, as well as shape of the shadow on the earth. Unfortunately, no written account of Thales' methods exists. Accounts of his skill as a geometer and astronomer come to us from Aristotle.

    polis ). The concept of proof already existed; it was a socially significant reality. All that remained was to transfer it to the field of mathematics, which was done as soon as the Greeks became acquainted with the achievements of the ancient Eastern civilizations. It must be assumed that a certain part here was also played by the role of the Greeks as young, curious students in relation to the Egyptians and Babylonians, their old teachers who did not always agree with one another. In fact, the Babylonians determined the area of a circle according to the formula 3 r , while the Egyptians used the formula (8/9 2 r . Where was the truth? This was something to think about and debate. The creators of Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics have remained anonymous. The Greeks preserved the names of their wise men. The first, Thales of Miletus, is also the first name included in the history of science. Thales lived in the sixth century B.C. in the city of Miletus on the Asia Minor coast of the Aegean Sea. One date in his life has been firmly established: in 585 B.C. he predicted a solar eclipseunquestionable evidence of Thales's familiarity with the culture of the ancient civilizations, because the experience of tens and hundreds of years is required to establish the periodicity of eclipses. Thales had no Greek predecessors, and could therefore only have taken his knowledge of astronomy from the scientists of the East. Thales, the Greeks assert, gave the world the first mathematical proofs. Among the propositions (theorems) proved by him they mention the following:

    Previous Home TOC Next Greek Philosophy Western philosophy is considered generally to have begun in ancient Greece as speculation about the underlying nature of the physical world. In its earliest form it was indistinguishable from natural science. In the earliest philosophers of Greece it is impossible to separate ideas of divinity and the human soul from ideas about the mystery of being and the genesis of material change. Philosophy among the Greeks slowly emerged out of religious awe into wonder about the principles and elements of the natural world. Eventually, cosmological speculation partly gave way to moral and political theorizing. As the Greek populations left the land to become concentrated in their cities, interest shifted from nature to social living; questions of law and convention and civic values became paramount. The three greatest Greek philosophers are Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. All philosophers and schools prior to Socrates are generally referred to as the Pre-Socratics The Ionian School Also known as the Milesian School.

    Thales of Miletus
    Thales of Miletus (640-546 BC) found that when amber was rubbed against fur, it had the seemingly magic ability to attract small objects like feathers. For a long time it was thought that this ability was peculiar to amber.
    Many years later, in the 16th Century, William Gilbert was to prove other substances besides amber were electric. He discovered that electricity wasn't created by rubbing the amber on fur, but that every object had an innate charge which was transferred from one object to another, electrifying both.
