Philolaus was a unique figure in the era of Greek metaphysics who bridged the gap between the Milesians, the Presocratics and the Pythagoreans to form a theory of universal origins that included the first suggestion that Earth was not at its center. Although his theory was not widely accepted in his day, he would influence astronomers and philosophers from Aristarchus to Copernicus.
