Thales of Miletus (Thalēs; 624 – c.

546 BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek/Phoenician philosopher, mathematician and astronomer from Miletus in Asia Minor (present-day Milet in Turkey).

He was one of the Seven Sages of Greece.

Many, most notably Aristotle, regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition, and he is otherwise historically recognized as the first individual in Western civilization known to have entertained and engaged in scientific philosophy.

Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft.

It has two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.

Avionics engineering is similar, but deals with the electrical side of aerospace engineering.

A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal, especially if the item is not consumed in the process.

Tool use by humans dates back millions of years, and other animals are also known to employ simple tools.

Transport or transportation is the movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another.

Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space.

The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles and operations.

Transport is important because it enables trade between people, which is essential for the development of civilizations.

Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction.

Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.

The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe.

However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
