The Greek Heavenly Thoughts
The Greek was the first recognize the distinction between the natural and the supernatural. In other words , they found the nature, since then, the cosmology(宇宙学) could never be maintain a system of myth.
Gradually, the Greek believed themselves to live in a cosmos, and considered the cosmos to be an entirely natural place. Besides they saw an order in the cosmos. The order, to them, not only means an arrange, but also a good order, and also a beautiful, elegant order. With an optimism(乐观主义), they believed the order, and the cosmos were comprehensible(可知的), and furthermore, could be described in words and numbers. When the Greek formed these crucial ideas, some earliest philosophers and scientists were important and influential. The Milesians(米利都学派得的哲学家), including Thales(泰勒斯), Anaximander(阿纳克西曼德), described the cosmos in entirely natural terms for the first time. Heraclitus(赫拉克立特) insisted that the cosmos worked according to a logos(理性), which mean “word”, “account”, “measure”, and “proportion”, and if we grasp this logos, the cosmos could be understood and described well.
After the Greek accepted the idea that the cosmos was a natural place and comprehensible, some pre-Socratics(前苏格拉底时代德哲学家) overcame some significant conceptual(观念上的) hurdles to achieve a more sophisticated cosmology. There was the move from a hemispherical(半球形) universe to a spherical(球形) one, and a earth supported by water to supported by air, and then to one which need no support. In the earlier Greek cosmologies, objects were thought to drop in parallel straight lines from the top of the cosmos to the bottom, this led to the problem why the earth doesn’t fall to the bottom of the cosmos, so in this sort of the cosmos, something is required to support the earth. Then Aristotle placed the earth at the center of the cosmos, there was no the problem of the earth dropping. He believed that objects moved to the center of the cosmos, that is the earth itself.
The idea that the earth was central and stable dominated Greek astronomy and cosmology. In Greek minds, it can explain many phenomena. Firstly, the experience told Greek, if one was in rapid motion, he certainly knew about it, so they thought, if the earth has a daily rotation from west to east, there should be constant wind from east to west; if the earth is in motion around the sun, all objects will sweep off the face of the earth. Secondly, because they had no knowledge of gravity, they believe if the earth in rapid motion, it will disintegrate(解体). Thirdly, if the earth takes up different positions relative to the stars(恒星), there should be a stellar parallax(恒星视差量), one can detect slight changes in the apparent positions of the stars from the earth.
When the Greek physics, astronomy, philosophy and common sense all seemed to indicate an immobile earth, there was an important consequence, all of the motions of the heavens were real motions to the earth, not apparent ones due to the motion of the earth.
At the outset, Greek observational astronomy was rather divorced(背离) from philosophical speculation about the nature of the cosmos. Some observed the heavens and took careful notes of what they saw, some produced cosmological models based on general philosophical considerations. But no one gave a cosmological model that were anywhere near explaining, in a precise manner, the phenomena that had been record. The Pythagoreans(毕达哥拉斯学派的哲学家) made the first attempt. They believed in the center of the cosmos was a fire, not the sun, the fire was shield from the earth by a body known as the counter earth. The model was vague and speculative, and the earth moves around the fire, and between the fire and earth, there was the counter earth. Plato(柏拉图) produced a slightly better model, had central earth, with the sun, the moon, the five planets and the stars orbiting around it. Then it was a basic assumption of Greek astronomy and cosmology, if some motions seems not circular or regular, almost all Greek philosophers and scientists would consider these as some combination of several circular and regular motions. Neither of two models could account for two important phenomena relating to the point at which the sun sets. The sun does not always set due west(正西方). Where the sun sets during a year changes from a maximum of 23.5º north of west to a maximum of 23.5°north of west. Solstices(至日，包括冬至、夏至) occur at the maximum points, while equinoxes(分日，包括春分、秋分) occur at the due west. Later Plato gave the first model that could give a reasonable account for these phenomena. The model was one of the most important Greek cosmological models. Plato made the first serious attempt to unite astronomical phenomena and cosmological traditions. He insisted that the sun, the moon, have a combination of two regular circular motions, that’s to say, the sun and the moon have a second motion in addition the daily one, offset(偏移) at an angle to it. As to the five planets, which are wandering in the heaven apparently, Plato gave a similar but more complex explanation. The model could give a reasonable explanation approximately, but couldn’t explain the planets exceptive motions. They will progress against the background of the fixed stars over a year or two, or even longer, then they will halt suddenly, and go in the other direction for a while, stop again, after that, progress in the normal direction. Facing a series strange exceptions and motions of the planets, Eudoxus(人名，难以翻译，重要的哲学家、科学家) thought regressively(回归，追本溯源). He was a pupil of Pythagorean, and had a close relationship with Plato. About planets, Plato’s model had two regular circular movements for each planet, Eudoxus gave four circular movements for each planet. In this model, the first sphere (环), generate a daily motion; the second generate the motion along the ecliptic(黄道), the other two produce a pattern like the figure 8 laid on its sides(行星出现在黄道正负8度范围内). Besides, Eudoxus had a record of planets’ motion, and made a good use of mathematics, so compared with Plato’s model, his is more sophisticated.
Eudoxus’ model was excellent model for a long time, but there were some inherent difficulties. Because the distance between the earth and each one of five planets that we can see with naked eyes, always changes, it is not difficult to find that all planets’ size are varying apparently. Eudoxus can’t cope with the phenomenon, in his model, the distances between the earth and the planets are constant, that means the size of planets can’t vary. Account for these problems, Ptolemy(托勒密) produced a whole new system which was to last for nearly 1500 years. The system was based on combination of regular circular motions too. He gave up concentric(同心圆) sphere model in favor of a system based on a device, the epicycle(本轮，天文模型的一种). The epicycle is a combination of two regular circular motions, but not around the same center. The center of smaller circle moves around the larger circle. The two circles can produced many complex patterns, because these patterns, Ptolemy was able to explain most problems that beset the concentric sphere model, including the variation of apparent size, the brightness, the velocity(速度) of the planets. Besides the epicycle, Ptolemy made another subtle change, the earth is offset from the center of the sun’s orbit. So the model can account for that seasons have slightly different lengths. Now before the telescope was invented and new phenomena that can’t be found with naked eyes were detected, the model is the best in the ancient times.
After talking about some important Greek cosmological models, we have to mention an exceptive astronomer, Aristarchus(阿里斯塔克斯). He is the first one who have a revolutionary thinking that the earth is orbiting around the sun. But sadly, we don’t know how and why he can be aware this without any idea about gravity and the phenomena which only can be detected with telescope, only we know he is a follower of Aristotle.

Riddle of the mystical ufo, riddle of the black hole, dark material and the antimatter riddle of ......Has smeared in a veil of mystery for the universe. the universe, is really one is also beautiful, mystical place!
Solar the sun is burning the big fireball, resides in solar system's center, the Earth and its 9 brothers revolves around the sun. the sun is very big, may install the next 1,300,000 Earth nearly. The sun is hot, the surface temperature has several thousand degrees Celsius, the central temperature also wants hotly! the sun already had 5,000,000,000 years old now, the scientist forecast that it may also exist for 5,000,000,000 years. If the sun has destroyed, how that humanity does manage? Should not be anxious, at that time humanity has already mastered the very high science and technology, has already established own homeland in universe another corner.
Earth the Earth is the solar system's third planet, according to the size platoon is fifth. the Earth is humanity's homeland, is a blue color star. On the Earth has 29% lands, 71% sea. The Earth is in solar system's star suits the life housing only the star, is also in the star which the present humanity explores suits the star which only the humanity lives. the Earth in does not stop circles the sun to rotate, simultaneously also in rotation. The Earth circles solar revolution one week approximately to need for 365 days, rotation one week approximately needs for 24 hours. Earth's radius approximately is 6400 kilometers, approximately has 150,000,000 kilometers to sun's distance. the Earth has a satellite, that is the Moon.
Star in the universe, every can shine the star which gives off heat, is called the star. the star is very generally big, is also very bright, but also has many light to be very weak, or also wants compared to the Earth slightly. Our sun is also a star. star's brightness varies, we may decide the rank to the star. 6 and so on star can see reluctantly, 7 below and so on could not see. From 6 and so on starts, decide as 5 and so on turn, 4 and so on, 3 and so on, 2 and so on, 1 and so on, 0 and so on, - 1 and so on, - 2 and so on ......One and so on one and so on is brighter. The naked eye obvious star reaches 6974. the star also has the different color, the different color has represented the different temperature. Is just like the blue color star the temperature to be highest and red lowest. many stars combine the constellation, entire day altogether has 88 constellations

Promote the development of the productive forces is the most contemporary computer positive factors, it has gone down to almost all areas of human life and production, raises economic structure, social structure and people's lifestyles dramatically. In a short span of 40 years, more than 4,000 of its application on all industries, more than 5,000 multiple uses, but also the continued development of new applications. These applications can be grouped into the following categories : one, terms this is the earliest computer applications. In modern scientific research and engineering, there are various complex mathematical problems, if the manual calculation, not only time-consuming effort, but difficult to provide timely and accurate data. High-speed computers and large-capacity, and other features to address these huge, complex calculations provided possible. In weather forecasting, astronomy research, irrigation design, structural analysis of atomic, biological molecular structure analysis, satellite orbit calculations, the research and development of many spacecraft, show that the computer unique advantages. Second, information management According to statistics, 80% of the current total global installed for information management, although the application of formula in this regard is not complicated, but a great volume of data. Such as finance, accounting, management, administration, education, research, medical, personnel, records, materials, and other aspects of a substantial need for timely analysis and processing of information in order to provide a basis for decision-making. In today's era of information explosion, it is difficult to perform this task has been artificial, the computer has become an important tool for information management. In information management, we are experiencing the electronic data-processing services from a single to a database-based management information system, and to databases, and methods for the model-based decision support system development process. Third, the process of using computers to control a dynamic process control, command and coordination, not only can reduce the intensity of the work, improve work efficiency, and to improve control of the accuracy, quality results. For example, in car manufacturing, have computer-controlled assembly, transmission, production lines, technicians need to be good procedures into the computer processing task, the production can in no case automatically. In addition, computer control of chemical in the production, traffic, satellite and missile launch many plays an irreplaceable role. 4, ancillary computer system can support a better accomplish various tasks, such as : computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers to help design personnel circuit design, architectural design, mechanical design, aircraft design, design work, raising the speed and quality of design. Computer-aided manufacture (CAM) is the use of computers to carry out the management and operation of production equipment to improve product quality and production efficiency. Computer-assisted test (Cat) is the use of computer help product testing, test automation to achieve and improve testing accuracy. Computer-aided instruction (CAI) is the use of computers as teaching media and tools to help teachers improve the quality and efficiency of teaching process. It is a teaching methods, education ideas and the education system changes. 5, artificial intelligence artificial intelligence (AI) is a vast new computer applications field. Scientists are studying how to make a computer simulation the human brain to carry out understanding, learning, analysis, reasoning, and other senior thinking activities for the computer with more human intelligence, to identify the environment and adapt to the environment, automatic acquisition of knowledge, problem-solving, in order to use computers in certain areas of mental work automation. Computer applications not only improve the efficiency and quality of work, but it is being addressed in the past that are beyond the capability of the problem. Currently, a computer multimedia technology for the development of various information media control center, audio-visual equipment associated with voice and Mau-way dissemination of information, computer applications to be extended to the family closer to the people learning and entertainment areas. The development of the computer network technology perfect combination of computers and communications, particularly Internet网, has spread to dozens of countries in the global network of tens of thousands, millions of computers linked together and communicate to the people of the world, the global sharing of information resources made inestimable contributions.
