Anaximander was one of the first to predict that earth needs
no support. The world was mechanical and earth was
cylindrical according to his ideas. The Sun and the Moon
lied beyond the sky. Anaximander was one of the first to
create a map of the world.
“In my opinion this idea of Anaximander’s is one of the boldest, most revolutionary, and most portentous ideas in the whole history of human thought.” Karl Popper
