    Extractions: Antiochus' lack of lasting military achievements was offset by his policy of Hellenization. He was not only a lavish benefactor of shrines to Greek gods across the eastern Mediterranean including the temple of Zeus at Athens , in territories he controlled he actively promoted the cult of the living ruler founded by his father, representing himself as the manifestation of the supreme god, Zeus (hence the epithet epiphanes). Thus, he turned the advancement of Greek culture into a political tool to publicize his own claims of absolute power. And as the supreme god incarnate he assumed personal responsibility for all religious cult within his realm.

    Extractions: Ancient coins show they knew it was round by Michael Marotta The average person in Hellenic and Roman times knew that our world is round. The philosophic inquiries that began with Thales (624-547 BCE), reached a zenith in the works of Aristotle (384-321). Later, hellenistic astronomers made measurements of the size of the Earth and the sizes of and distances to the Sun and Moon. Several schemes for explaining the motions of the planets were invented. Generally, the average person of those times did not believe Earth to be flat any more than the average person of our day believes that we are alone in the galaxy. Philosophic Developments We should not be surprised to learn that various Greek philosophers and mathematicians had clever insights. Empedocles of Akragas (490-430) proved by experiment that air has substance. Democritus of Abdera (460-370) posited the existence of atoms. Pythagoras (569-500) was probably the first to assert that Earth is a sphere. The other candidate for originating this insight is Parmenides of Elea (fl. c. 500 BCE). However, later than them, Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (500-428) said that our world is "cylindrical", i.e., shaped like a drum or a modern coin. Democritus agreed. Aristotle summarized and criticized just about every significant work up to his time. In his books, On The Heavens, he notes the reasons offered by Anaxagoras and Democritus for asserting that Earth is flat. Then he argues against them, and states: "These conditions will be provided, even though the Earth is spherical, if it is of the requisite size..."

That is why you are here. Thank you, and, again, welcome.

92. The Crystalline Sphere Universe Of Aristotle Makes A Simple

    Extractions: The crystalline sphere universe of Aristotle makes a simple prediction all the wheels move in the same direction. This means that any planet should always move in the same direction, with respect to the background stars (which are the coordinate system here). Yet, the retrograde motion of Mars was well known at the time. Mars generally moves west to east (right to left) on the background of stars. But every 780 days it goes through period of 83 days during which it moves east to west against the stars, the retrograde motion. The retrograde period is centered around the time when Mars is in opposition - Mars is directly opposite the Sun. Thus, this phenomena could be established as repeatable and realiable after only a decade's worth of observations. Plato gave his students a major problem to work on. Their task was to find a geometric explanation for the apparent motion of the planets, especially the strange retrograde motion. One key observation: as a planet undergoes retrograde motion (drifts westward with respect to the stars), it becomes brighter. Plato and his students were, of course, also guided by the Pythagorean Paradigm. This meant that regardless of the scheme they came up with, the Earth should be at the unmoving center of the planet motions. One student named Aristarchus violated that rule and developed a model with the Sun at the center. His model was not accepted because of the obvious observations against a moving Earth. Ptolemy to the Rescue?

    Extractions: Porphyry EARLY HELLENIST PHILOSOPHERS Diogenes, who was a contemporary of Plato and Aristotle, laid out an important part of the Hellenistic world-view with his Cynicism. Please note: the Cynicism of the originator of this philosophy, Diogenes, had little in common with what we today understand as cynicism. Even before Philip and Alexander had arrived on the Greek scenethe constant warring among the Greeks, the hunger of Athens for power and dominion over its neighbors, the general sense that things were not right politically in Greecehad caused Diogenes to begin to look to inner or personal integrity as a substitute for lost public integrity (which had once been the focus of the moral life in Greece).

    Extractions: Click here to return to the PHY100F Homepage PHY100F - THE MAGIC OF PHYSICS. The Ancient Greeks The religious traditions of Judaism and Christianity have provided one foundation of Western civilization, while the philosophy of the ancient Greeks has provided another. The period of Greek philosophy may conveniently be divided into three parts: the pre-Socratics; the work of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; and the schools that followed these three giants. We will concentrate on two of the fields of enquiry that concerned the natural philosophers of the ancient world. The first, cosmology, attempts to understand the nature of the universe, of the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars. The second, mechanics, investigates the motion of terrestrial bodies and the action of forces upon them. Having virtually no experimental apparatus and a philosophy that often discouraged experimentation, the conclusions of the ancient Greeks are sometimes wildly inaccurate. Yet so influential was their thought that it was not called into question for more than 1500 years later, when the methods of true scientific enquiry were developed. Only then, with the work of Galileo and Newton, did it became clear that cosmology and mechanics were subject to the same universal laws of motion. The ideas of the Greek philosophers are worth investigating, if only because they give a context to the extraordinary accomplishments of later scientific understanding. In addition, the progression of scientific thought from the ideas of the Greek philosophers to the theories of Galileo and Newton often seems to mirror our own development in understanding as we grow from childhood to maturity. However, since this is a course in Physics rather than Philosophy, I will concentrate only on those philosophers whose ideas can be directly traced to the later developments we will be studying.
