古希腊七贤,古代希腊七位名人的统称,现代人了解较多的只有立法者梭伦和哲学家泰勒斯两人,剩余五人一般认为是契罗、毕阿斯、庇塔库斯、佩里安德、克莱俄布卢,但无法确定。

- 米利都的泰勒斯(Thales of Miletus),他的格言相传是“只在乎稳定会带来毁灭”(To bring surety brings ruin)或“认识你自己”(Know thyself)。
- 普林纳的毕阿斯(Bias of Priene),他的格言相传有“人多反而坏事”(Too many workers spoil the work)、“多数人皆恶人”(Most men are bad)。
- 林度斯的克莱俄布卢(Cleobulus of Lindos),他的格言相传是“适度即至善”(Moderation is the chief good)。
- 米蒂利尼的庇塔库斯(Pittacus of Mitylene),他的格言相传是“认清你的时机”(Know thine opportunity)。
- 科林斯的佩里安德(Periander of Corinth),他的格言相传是“事事都应做长远考虑”(Forethought in all things)。

It turns out that because the universe is on average the same everywhere, and on average looks the same in every direction, there does exist a “cosmic time”. To measure it, all we have to do is measure the properties of the cosmic microwave background. Cosmologists have used this to determine the age of the universe; its cosmic age. It turns out that the universe is 13.799 billion years old.
That’s because the gravity associated with large masses may be pulling matter into seemingly ordered states – with the increase in disorder that we think must have taken place being somehow hidden away in the gravitational fields. So disorder could be increasing even though we don’t see it.
