All four referenced Greek thinkers: Democritus, Aristotle, Archimedes, and Anaxagoras, observed Nature and argued for his theory of
the composition of matter and natural laws. Only one of them tested his hypothesis and proposed a natural laws based on reproducible
observations, controlled experiments, and mathematical reasoning. All others used logic and thought experiments, as philosophers do,
to support their theories. Who is the experimental scientist in this group?
O Democritus
O Aristotle
O Archimedes
O Anaxagoras

Anaxagoras was perhaps the first literate person to attempt to explain physical phenomena rationally, basing his ideas upon careful observations and simple experiments. This is fundamental to modern science and is the sine qua non of environmental study.
