Atomism is the theory that all the objects in the universe are composed of very small, indestructible elements. Or, stated in other words, all of reality is made of indivisible basic building blocks. The word atomism derives from the ancient Greek word atomos which means that which cannot be cut into smaller pieces. There are two ways in which the word "atom" is used: to describe the atoms that scientists discuss, and those that philosophers discuss. Atomism is traditionally associated with the latter, where philosophers have argued t ...

Bryaxis (born c. 350 BC) was a Greek sculptor. He worked on the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus which was commissioned by Queen Artemisia in memory of her brother and husband, Mausolus. The greatest sculptors of their time, Bryaxis, Leochares, Scopas, and Timotheus were each responsible for one side of the mausoleum. The tomb was completed 3 years after the death of Mausolus and one year after the death of Artemisia. Categories: 350 BC births | Ancient Greek sculp ...

A screw is a shaft with a helical groove or thread formed on its surface. Its main uses are as a threaded fastener used to hold objects together, and as a simple machine used to translate torque into linear force. It can also be defined as an inclined plane wrapped around a shaft. Screw - Threaded fastener. A screw used as a threaded fastener consists of a shaft, which may be cylindrical or conical, and a head. The shaft has a helical ridge or thread formed on it. The thread is essentially an inclined plane ...

To mount, the rider should take the leading rein (presumably there was a third rein for leading the horse) in his left hand and hold it slack. With his right hand he should grasp the reins, along with a small lock of mane so that he does hit the horse in the mouth when he mounts. The rider should not hit the horse in the back when he mounts, but bring his leg completely over. The soldier should be able to mount not only on the left side, but also on the right, so if he is leading the horse in his left hand and c ...

Cyprus gained independence around 669/663. Cemeteries of this period are mainly rock-cut tombs. They have been found, among others, at Tamassos, Soloi, Patriki and Trachonas. The rock-cut 'Royal' tombs at Tamassos, built ca. 600 BC imitate wooden houses. The pillars show Phoenician influence. Some graves contain remains of horses and chariots. The main deity on the Island was the Great Goddess, Phoenician Astarte, later known under the Greek name of Aphrodite, who was called 'the Cypriote' by Homer. Paphian inscriptions call her the Q ...

Epicurus studied atomism with Nausiphanes who had been a student of Democritus. But Epicurus was less interested in the part of Democritus's theories that explained wild nature, as in worlds, universes, and earthquakes. Epicurus was more interested in applying Democritus's theories to assist people in taking responsibility for themselves and for their own happiness—since in reality there is no god around that can help them. By 310 BC, Epicurus argued that, if a person tangled responsibly with the reality that there is no god to help ...

The Neolithic saw the introduction of farming and pottery, and the use of more advanced stone implements. It was once thought that these innovations were introduced by a new wave of settlers, but there is no compelling evidence for a large-scale invasion at this point in Irish history. It is much more likely that the Neolithic revolution was a long and slow process resulting from trade and overseas contacts with agricultural communities in Britain and on the continent. Agriculture began around 4500 BC. Sheep, goats, cattle and cereals ...

Meteorology - Early achievements in meteorology. 350 BC The term meteorology comes from Aristotle's Meteorology. Although the term meteorology is used today to describe a subdiscipline of the atmospheric sciences, Aristotle's work is more general. The work touches upon much of what is known as the earth sciences. In his own words: ...all the affections we may call common to air and water, and the kinds and parts of the earth and the affections of its parts. One of ...

Modern screws employ a wide variety of drive designs, each requiring a different kind of tool to drive in or extract them. The most common screw drives are the slotted and Phillips; hex, Robertson, and torx are also common in some applications. Some types of drive are intended for automatic assembly in mass-production of such items as automobiles. More exotic screw drive types may be used in situations where tampering is undesirable, such as in electronic appliances that should not be serviced by the home repair person.

Mechanisms for producing artificialy created, two-dimensional images in motion were demonstrated as early as the 1860's, including the zoetrope and the praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns), and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving. Naturally, the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect — and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation. ...
