Traces of history, science originated in ancient Greece, can take root here, and here the unique natural environment and political tradition is not without relations. After entering the era of Greece, science also started the world. Alexander Museum became the academic center of the world, many famous scientists have in doing research, including Euclid and Archimedes. Here also enriched in time for the world’s most abundant information for researchers to access. In such a strong academic atmosphere of the infection, the scientists Hellenistic period has attract people’s attention achievements in mathematics, astronomy and medicine etc.. The Alexander museum to become the ancient world academic center, in addition to a connection with ancient Greece factors peculiar outside, and in the east the centralization of state power factors. Because of the powerful state intervention, the scientific development have a solid material foundation. Science in ancient Greece is a kind of spirit, a kind of objective, logical, indifferent to fame and wealth, the spirit of seeking the truth. Thoughts on the origin of the world from the earliest Telles, to Platon, Aristotle research in the field of philosophy, and finally the Hellenistic age improved the final definition of the spirit of science.The Hellenistic age even ancient science development in the peak, but the peak is not stable. Eastern centralization policy is supporting the scientific development to a certain extent, once the autocratic centralization weight covers the ancient Greek tradition of freedom of the original, the development of science is a dead end. The rise of Christianity can illustrate this problem is after the middle ages. The church priest is to master the knowledge of the people in ancient society, but they have been strictly controlling the doctrine, in scientific research can not be free, stagnation and makes the scientific development, this phenomenon lasted for thousands of years.Marvel at today’s technology combined with brought to people convenient life, find by hard and thorough search, look after the scientific development in modern times, it is not difficult to see that this technology combination is the inevitable development of history. As early as in science and technology, is necessary to rely on human survival and development, and science is not everyone need to master! Until modern times, people began to realize that science and technology combined with later will play a more great effect. The ancient Greek science spirit revived, she combined with the technical perfection, rapidly changing the human society and human itself. However, the use of science should also be aware of side effects of science brings to human development, to avoid problems by reasonable and scientific use.
