thermodynamics led to the development of industrialization; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus. Natural philosophy has its origins in Greece during the Archaic period‚ (650 BCE – 480 BCE)‚ when Pre-Socratic philosophers like Thales rejected non-naturalistic explanations for natural phenomena and proclaimed that every event had a natural cause.[13] They proposed ideas verified by reason and observation and many of their hypotheses proved successful in
