Greek Philosophers
There were so many ancient Greek thinkers that virtually every bit of
modern knowledge, fact, pseudo-science and counterfact are
represented.
Greek mathematician Pythagoras (582-500 BC) postulated that earth is
round and that, together with the other planets, it is revolving
around a central fire.
Aristarchus, a Greek Astronomer (310-250 BC), was more precise. He
suggested that the earth revolves around the sun. He also suggested a
correct method to calculate the distance between the two.
Another Greek astronomer, Eratosthenes (276-196 BC), measured the
earth's circumference accurately. He used astronomical observations to
calculate the difference in latitude between the cities of Syene (now
Aswan) and Alexandria, Egypt.
Democritus (460-370 BC) invented the concept of a-toms - minute,
invisible, indivisible and indestructible particles, which populate
an infinite empty void (kenon).
