Summary
The first problem of man was to find his way about on the earth. Hence the art of measuring the earth (geodesy) became the source of the science of space, which derived its name geometry from the Greek word for earth. From the very outset, however, the measure of time arose from the regular changes of night and day, the phases of the moon, and the seasons. These phenomena forced themselves on mans attention and caused him to direct his gaze toward the stars, which were the source of the science of the universe, cosmology. Astronomic technique applied to the heavenly regions the teachings of geometry that had been tested on the earth, allowing distances and orbits to be defined, and gave the inhabitants of the earth the celestial (astronomic) measure of time which taught them to distinguish between past, present, and future, and to assign to each event its place in time.
