Thales was an ancient Greek philosopher often regarded as the first western philosopher and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He made significant contributions in geometry, astronomy, and philosophy, and is famous for his belief that water was the fundamental substance of the universe. Thales' emphasis on seeking natural explanations for phenomena rather than attributing them to mythical gods laid the groundwork for future scientific inquiry.
