Thales

Thales din Milet a fost declarat in anul 582 i.e.n. unul dintre cei sapte intelepti ai antichitatii. A trait intre anii 624 - 546 i.e.n. in Grecia antica si a fost un recunoscut matematician, astronom si filozof. A fondat in Milet cea mai veche scoala filozofica materialista, de care este legata nasterea matematicii grecesti. Este primul matematician care a enuntat teoreme insotite de demonstratii, ca : " Diametrul imparte cercul in doua parti egale ; " Unghiul inscris intr-un semicerc este drept ( teorema cunoscuta si de egipteni ; " Suma unghiurilor unui triunghi este de doua unghiuri drepte ; " Unghiurile de la baza unui triunghi isoscel sunt egale ( fapt cunoscut si de egipteni si de babilonieni ) ; " Congruenta triunghiurilor care au o latura si unghiurile adiacente congruente ; " Asemanarea triunghiurilor avand unghiurile respectiv egale, in corelatie cu teorema care ii poarta numele si care este enuntata astfel : In orice triunghi o paralela dusa la una din laturi le imparte pe celelalte doua in segmente proportionale. Paralela poate taia laturile triunghiului sau prelungirile acestora. Si reciproca : Daca o dreapta imparte doua laturi ale unui triunghi in segmente proportionale, atunci ea este paralela cu a treia latura a triunghiului. Consecinta : Mai multe paralele determina pe doua secante oarecare segmente proportionale. Studiile matematice ale lui Thales au fost strans legate de necesitati practice : " Lui Thales i se atribuie prima aplicatie a compasului si a vasometrului ; " Masurarea inaltimii unei piramide, dupa lungimea umbrei ei si a masuratorului ;

" Procedeul de a determina distanta pana la tarm a unei corabii vizata din doua puncte de pe uscat. Ca astronom, Thales este primul care a afirmat ca Luna primeste lumina de la Soare. Dar, faima lui Thales ca astronom s-a pastrat de-a lungul veacurilor mai ales prin prezicerea eclipsei de Soare din 28 mai 585 i.e.n. ( data calculata corespunzator pentru calendarul nostru de catre G.B.Riccioli, in 1665 ) - eclipsa ramasa celebra prin faptul ca a pus capat razboaielor dintre lidieni (greci) si mezi (persi ). Izbanda armatei lidienilor se datoreaza lui Thales, intrucat el a sfatuit pe conducatorii acestora sa lanseze atacul in ziua cand eclipsa se va produce. Atunci, ostile vrajmase inspaimantate de acest fenomen (de care nu avusesera cum sa ia cunostinta) au parasit in graba campul de lupta. De aceasta indeletnicire a lui Thales este legata si urmatoarea anecdota - transmisa de Platon (sec. 4 i.e.n.) : Intr-o noapte, Thales se plimba privind stelele si, absorbit de ganduri, a cazut intr-o groapa. O batranica, vazandu-l, i s-a adresat atunci cu dojana : " Cum poti sa stii ce se afla in cer daca nu stii ce se afla la picioarele tale ? Ca filozof a apartinut Scolii filozofice din Ionia (Asia Mica). A sustinut ca principiul primordial al lucrurilor este apa. Din filozofia lui Thales am ales urmatoarele cugetari : " " Castiga-ti frumusetea nu la infatisare, ci la felul de viata . la Diogenes Laertios " " Pagubitor lucru este nestapanirea. la Stobaios, Florilegium

15, 16 and August 17, 1969. Woodstock. The largest rock festival in history. Ought to take place in the town of Woodstock Ullster County, but the small town had the necessary facilities. Organizers were then thought to another city, Walkill, but were hit by the refusal of the authorities. Finally, the festival took place on Max Yasgur's property for a dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 40 miles from Woodstock. You should come around 60,000. 500,000 came. Five hundred thousand, on an area of 2.4 square kilometers, which stretched Max's farm. And 250,000 people could not reach the festival, highways were blocked by cars stopped along hundreds of kilometers. Woodstock was the tip of the '60s hippie culture. Big names in rock music came before the young hippie then and played a rainy weekend. The best performers were Jimi Hendrix and The Who. Along with her sang Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Greatful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Canned Heat, Sly and the Family Stone, Santana, Joe Cocker, Cleardance Clearwater Revival, Bert Sommer, Johnny Winter. Led Zeppel

in and the Doors would have to play and them, but accepted the first offer better paid, and Jim Morrison was not called because organizers were afraid of what could have been done on stage. Though initially aimed only festival return (one ticket for the three days cost $ 18 and the cost of a single day of the festival was $ 8), Woodstock became a staple of American culture and rock culture. It was during the '60s, when changes in American society were held high. Hippie movement raises that until then were not discussed in society: peace, freedom of each individual to live the way you want, rebellion against a society that imposes rules, fought against the Vietnam War. I do not think that we who have not been there, we could ever imagine how it was. To leave home to a concert, along with 500,000 people from all parts of America, people who think and

are the same things. Annual events were everywhere, even in the '50s (Newport, for example). However, Woodstock was also a reaction against this system of carefully planned and fat-sponsored festivals. Where another feature of the myth of Woodstock: the revolt against anchilozarii against intelenire & frozen forms of social, political, artistic. It is said that the uprising is the essence of rock or beat, punk, heavy or rap. But revolt not put anything in place is a vax. From this angle, it would seem that Woodstock has a problem: nothing has changed for him. Really? Of course, the festival has had good parts and bad parts. During the festival, three people died. One because of a heroin overdose (yes! Drugs were fully in Woodstock, drugs were part of the hippie philosophy), one due to rupture of an appendix and ironing one truck. It appears that, although there was drinking and drugs in large amounts (probably all participants had fun with such substances), there was no violence and the participants at the festival was remarkably peaceful behavior.

During Woods Tock took place and two births. In 1989, 20 years after Woodstock, the magazine Life organized a search of the child born in Woodstock, in the Hotel El Monaco. Elliot Tiber, the hotel owner, has helped the mother give birth. The child born in Woodstock is one of the mysteries of the festival, because even today it could not find out who is the one who came along to Woodstock, in the El Monaco, despite assiduous searches of those in Life Magazine. Woodstock was held in May 1979, 1989, 1994 and 1999. But there were only a few successful attempts republication. Or to relive the moments of '69. Peace, love, music.
