Timeline of Events

Ancient Times (Pre-B.C. Era):

  • Pythagoreans (Time unspecified in document): Determine a geometric mean from the quadrature of a rectangle, observing it as a probable interaction within geometric space-time. Develop geometric mathematics.

  • Democritus of Abdera (Time unspecified in document): Founds atomic theory, combining Pythagorean geometry with the shape of atoms. Introduces the concept of atoms and the "void".

  • Protagoras (c. 492 B.C.): Recognizes that sense perceptions change in a relativistic manner the individual’s perception.

  • Thales of Miletus (Time unspecified in document): Has laws of nature but does not conclude they are God's laws.
