Chapter 1248: Chapter 601: Dark Matter Does Not Exist!_1

In the history of human development, mathematics and philosophy evolved together, both possessing the common characteristic of pursuing deeper laws beyond superficial phenomena.

In ancient times, limited by humanity's understanding of nature, gods were the supreme beings, and every civilization's history contained elements related to deities.

Gods represented human faith, and also served to explain what could not be explained at the time.

The term 'nature' originated from the ancient Greek mathematician Thales, who replaced the position of gods in people's hearts with the concept of 'nature'.

This was the budding of mathematical and philosophical thought, and Thales was thus known as the 'father of philosophy and science'.

Although Thales was a theist, he believed that solving problems should not solely rely on 'gods' but must follow 'natural laws', using logical reasoning to address real-world issues.
