বাংলা অনুবাদ:

বিশ্বের প্রথম বিজ্ঞানী ছিলেন থেলিস, যিনি ৬২৫ খ্রিস্টপূর্বে গ্রিসে জন্মগ্রহণ করেন। তিনি মিলেটাস শহরে জন্মগ্রহণ করেন। যদিও তিনি একজন ব্যবসায়ী ছিলেন, পরে তিনি একজন স্বনামধন্য বিজ্ঞানী হয়ে ওঠেন। তিনি মিশরে জ্যামিতি অধ্যয়ন করেছিলেন এবং এতে দক্ষতা অর্জন করেন। প্রকৃতপক্ষে, তার প্রধান বৈজ্ঞানিক অর্জন ছিল জ্যামিতির আবিষ্কার।

পিথাগোরাস-ও একজন বিজ্ঞানী ছিলেন। তিনি ৫৬০ খ্রিস্টপূর্বে জন্মগ্রহণ করেন। তিনি একজন গ্রিক ছিলেন এবং মূলত একজন বিখ্যাত গণিতবিদ হিসেবে পরিচিত। পাশাপাশি তিনি দর্শন, জ্যোতির্বিদ্যা এবং সংখ্যা তত্ত্বে অবদান রেখেছিলেন। মানুষ তাকে মহান আদর্শবাদী মনে করত। এই মহান বিজ্ঞানী ৪৮০ খ্রিস্টপূর্বে মারা যান।

আরেকজন বিজ্ঞানী ডেমোক্রিটাস, যিনি ৪৭০ খ্রিস্টপূর্বে গ্রিসে জন্মগ্রহণ করেন। তিনি পরমাণু সংক্রান্ত গবেষণার জন্য বিখ্যাত ছিলেন। এই মহান বিজ্ঞানী ৪০০ খ্রিস্টপূর্বে মৃত্যুবরণ করেন।
