Thales=طاليس
WIKIPEDIA
Thales of Miletus
(
/ˈθeɪliːz/;
Greek:
Θαλῆς, Thalēs; 624 BC –
c. 546 BC) was a pre-Socratic
Greek
philosopher from Miletus
in Asia Minor,
and one of the Seven
Sages of Greece. Many, most notably Aristotle,
regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek
tradition.[1]
According to Bertrand
Russell, "Western philosophy begins with Thales."[2]
Thales attempted to explain natural phenomena without reference to
mythology and
was tremendously influential in this respect.

Thales of Miletus is often credited with being the first systematic philosopher of the Western world. He was the first to reject supernatural explanations and seek reasons behind events. To prove the value of this understanding of the world he used his logic and evidence to predict a good crop of olives and, buying up olive presses, was able to corner the market in oil and make a fortune. As well as devising several geometric theories (which allowed him to measure the height of the pyramids from the ground) Thales was also the first person to study electricity. It had been noticed that amber, when rubbed, attracted threads of fiber to it. It was this static electricity which Thales’ studied. When the negative particle of the atom was named it was called the electron, after the Greek for amber – elektron.
