The word cosmos is itself derived from ancient Greek. It had various meanings, such as to dispose and prepare, but especially to order and arrange or to establish. The famous philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras used the term to describe the order of the universe. Initially, the cosmos was viewed as divinely created, finite, and bifurcated, divided into sublunary and superlunary realms. These ideas were based on a supernatural understanding of the world. With Thales and other philosophers of his time, thinkers began postulating a universe that was in tune with nature, based on physical and natural properties. Thus, early astronomers set forth to observe and mathematically analyze the universe empirically.The Earliest Visions of the Cosmos: Thales of MiletusThales of Miletus by Jacques de Gheyn, 1616, via RijksmuseumOf the numerous ancient Greek philosophers, Thales of Miletus is often credited as being the first. Certainly, he was one of the earliest advocates for a naturalistic explanation for the observable phenomena in the cosmos. Thus, Thales expressed the foundations of the cosmos in terms that could be explained by nature rather than mythology or spirituality.According to Thales, water was the fundamental building block of all things. He believed that water was the primary element that composed the cosmos and everything else derived from it. Thales proposed that water was the source of life and that it governed all forms of existence and transformations of all matter.Regarding astronomy, Thales suggested the Earth floated upon water. Accordingly, also, the earth was believed to be a flat disc. Observing the changing states of water, and its ability to evaporate into the air and condense into rain, he evidenced water’s central role in the universe.Thales was also accredited with accurately predicting a solar eclipse, demonstrating his knowledge of geometry and astronomy. He also introduced the concept of the celestial sphere, an imaginary sphere surrounding the earth, consisting of fixed stars and celestial bodies.These views propounded further attempts to formulate theories of the natural world through physical properties rather than through mythical or supernatural explanations. Later philosophers would attempt a similar line of thinking, in which the earth,
