Timaeus is a theoretical treatise of Plato in the form of a Socratic dialogue, written circa 360 BC The work puts forward speculation on the nature of the physical world.
Timaeus begins with a distinction between the physical world, which is the world of change, and the eternal world.
Timaeus suggests that since nothing "becomes or changes" without cause, then the cause of the universe must be a demiurge or God, a figure Timaeus refers to as the father of the universe.

And we too, Socrates, as Timaeus says, will not be wanting in enthusiasm; and there is no excuse for not complying with your request.
And now, Timaeus, you, I suppose, should speak next, after duly calling upon the Gods.
Enough, if we adduce probabilities as likely as any others; for we must remember that I who am the speaker, and you who are the judges, are only mortal men, and we ought to accept the tale which is probable and enquire no further.

 Science Fair Projects - Timaeus (Plato)
Timaeus is a theoretical treatise of Plato in the form of a Socratic dialogue, written circa 360 B.C. The dialogue features Socrates, Critias, Timaeus of Locres and Hermocrates as speakers.
Plato conjectured each of these elements to be made up of a certain Platonic solid: the element of earth would be a cube, of air an octahedron, of water an icosahedron, and of fire a tetrahedron.
Plato's Timaeus posits the existence of a fifth element (corresponding to the fifth, remaining, Platonic solid) called quintessence, of which space itself is made.

 Plato : Timaeus
Plato (427 - 347 BC) in the School of Athens holds a copy of his Timaeus, and gestures upward to the aetherial realm of his eternal forms.
Timaeus starts his account by making a distinction between the physical world, which is the world of change, and the eternal world.
This notion is the kernel of Leibniz's optimism, and is an expression of the principle of sufficient reason, which states that nothing in the universe happens without a reason.

When Dionysius had read these letters with Philistus, and had taken his advice and counsel what he should do, as Timaeus said, he deceived Dion under pretence of reconciliation, making as though he meant him no hurt, and saying that he would become friends again with him.
After this, there came letters to Dion by a trumpet from the castle, written from the women of his house: and among the packet of letters, there was one of them directed 'To my father': the which Hipparinus wrote unto him.
For that was Dion's son's name, though Timaeus writeth he was called Areteus, after his mother's name Areta.

AT Locres beginneth the front of forepart of Italie, called Magna Græcia, retiring it selfe into three creekes of the Ausonian sea, because the Ausones first inhabited thereby.
But those things which are worth the writing of neere unto Locres, be these, Sagra the river, and the reliques of the towne Caulon: Mystia, the castle Consilium, Cerinthus, which some think to be the utmost promontorie of Italie, bearing farthest into the sea.
Then followeth the creeke or gulfe Scylacensu, and that which was called by the Athenians when they built it, Scylletium.

Such are the maxims of Pythagoras, the sense of which is not hard to understand.
The most beautiful of all the emblems is that of God, whom Timaeus of Locres represents by this idea: A circle the centre of which is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Plato adopted this emblem; Pascal had inserted it among the material which he intended using, and which has been called his "Thoughts."
