泰勒斯在数学方面和天文学方面都是个杰出的学者。他曾经预言道:“公元前585年5月28日,虽然时值正午,但太阳会迅速地失去光辉,夜幕将突然降临。”然而,当时的人们谁也不相信这种说法。有人传播流言蜚语说:“泰勒斯怕是发疯了吧?”可是事实如何呢?那年5月28日中午,太阳渐渐从边缘缺损,最后完全失去了光辉,夜色骤然笼罩大地,天空中的星星开始闪光。 Thales is an outstanding scholar in mathematics and astronomy. He predicted: “On May 28, 585 BC, although the hour was midday, the sun would quickly lose its glory and the nightfall would suddenly come.” However, no one at the time believed this. Someone spread gossip and said: “Tyrus is afraid of being crazy, right?” But what happened? At noon on May 28 that year, the sun was gradually missing from the edge, and finally completely lost its glory. The night suddenly enveloped the earth in the sky The stars start flashing.
