Archimedes Works were the largest achievements of the ancient world. Its mathematical reasonings left far beyond elementary geometry and demand even known knowledge from area of the mathematical analysis. Archimedes scientific views differ strict sequence and beskompromissnostju. It, in particular, is proved by its relation to Demokritu which doctrine was challenged by Archimedes contemporaries.

Archimedes about astronomical system the Aristarch Samos (a game rather positively responded. IV - 1st floor. III century BC), the greatest astronomer of an antiquity. About it Archimedes wrote in work ' About number of grains of sand '. As it is known, the Aristarch - the first scientist, dared to state a hypothesis about the reference of the Earth round the Sun, for what has been accused of godlessness and sentenced to exile from Athenes.

Many centuries after truthfulness of this hypothesis were proved by the great Kopernik who has created the new doctrine about the Universe. In spite of the fact that after Archimedes death has passed already more than two thousand years, all of us still admire achievements of this ingenious mathematician and the physicist. In a sky of a science Archimedes - a star of the first magnitude.
