"Every thing is made of Water"
THALES OF MILETUS (C.624–546 BCE) , a Greek Philosopher living during the Archaic period (mid-8th–6th century BCE), became the first person to leave a mark of using philosophical ideology of 'MONOISM'.
He asked "“What is the basic material of the cosmos?”
The idea that everything in the universe can be ultimately reduced to a single substance is the theory of monism, and Thales and his followers were the first to propose it within Western philosophy. Thales reasons that the fundamental material of the universe had to be
something out of which everything else could be formed, as well as being essential to life, and capable of motion and therefore of change. He observes that water is clearly necessary to sustain all forms of life, and that it moves and changes, assuming different forms – from liquid to solid ice and vaporous mist. So Thales concludes that all matter, regardless of its apparent properties, must be water in some stage of transformation.
