Figures of Ancient Philosophy and
Physics
JOHN BLAIR WELLS
John Blair Wells is a landman and mineral manager operating out of Texas
who has also developed quite a love and interest for the discipline and
science of physics. One of the most prominent figures of ancient
philosophy and physics is a man by the name of Hipparchus. He was a
Greek scientist and mathematician that would focus primarily on
astronomy and the behavior of large celestial bodies. Hipparchus would
use sophisticated and profound geometrical methods in order to help map
the movement of the planets and the stars. His measurements were so
accurate, that he could even correctly predict when a solar eclipse would
occur. He had many other famous calculations, such as calculating the
distance of the Moon and the Sun from Earth, something based on more
refined measuring instruments of the time.

MANAGER
Another prominent Greek physicist was a man by the name of
Ptolemy. He was a prominent scientist during the time of the Roman
Empire. Over the years Ptolemy would become the author of many
works, ones that would find great relevance in later European and
Islamic science. One of his works, known as the Almagest, was an
astronomy work that described the nature and motions of celestial
bodies. The next was the Geography, which did precisely what it
sounds like it did, cover the extent of geographical knowledge of the
Roman world.
Hipparchus and Ptolemy were
just two scientists of ancient
Greece that had a powerful
impact on the way we view the
world of physics today.
Blair Wells is a petroleum
engineer with an insatiable
curiosity for science and
physics.
