“…Bezmezno by tak nebylo umístěno na okraji či mimo svět. Zvláště, pokud se "počátky" dalších iónských archaických myslitelů v podobě vody, vzduchu nebo ohně vztahují k fenoménům přítomným ve světě, kdy je můžeme zároveň obdobně pochopit ve vztahu k vymezení základu života a jeho charakteristických projevů v rámci iónského "zkoumání přírody" (Kočandrle 2011;Kočandrle -Couprie 2017b).…”

When trying to reconstruct the cosmology of Anaximander of Miletus, one of the challenges is the issue of whether he assumed that universe to have some concrete boundaries. In particular, it is unclear whether heaven, in addition to being identical with the area of the sky, also formed the boundary of the universe. To wit, given that Anaximander allegedly said the 'origin' of existing things was the 'boundless', one might assume he viewed the universe as boundless, open. In contrast, for other archaic Ionian thinkers one can suppose they viewed the universe as closed, because the Earth formed the lower boundary of the universe and heaven its upper boundary. Although Anaximander's conception in many respects differed from theirs, one could argue that his universe was similarly closed. This hypothesis finds support especially in the concept of 'surrounding', which appears in Anaximander's thoughts in many areas and expresses the constitution of various phenomena. It seems therefore likely that it might also apply to defining the boundaries of the universe. Nonetheless, given the uniqueness of Anaximander's universe, which consisted of Earth in the middle of circles of heavenly bodies that passed even under it, later reports on his theories focused mainly on describing this centre of the universe. Although the shape of a column is a tempting candidate, surviving sources do not provide enough evidence to help us identify the shape of Anaximander's universe with any certainty. The notion of a celestial sphere, assumed by many scholars, is nonetheless clearly an anachronism.

“…Moreover, if we do accept the notion of one stable persisting world, we run into problems regarding the distinction between the boundless (τὸ ἄπειρον) and existing things, that is, also the whole world. 82 To wit, the boundless-unlike everything else-is explicitly exempted from coming to an end. Aristotle characterizes it as being 'without coming to be and perishing' (ἀγένητον καὶ ἄφθαρτον), 'for it is deathless and imperishable' (ἀθάνατον γὰρ καὶ ἀνώλεθρον).…”

Infinite Worlds in the Thought of Anaximander

Some classical authors ascribe to Anaximander of Miletus a belief in the existence of infinite worlds. Their testimonies have provoked an extensive discussion on the question of whether Anaximander spoke of successive or coexistent worlds, or perhaps only one world that undergoes changes. Of course, this subject is related to important aspects of archaic cosmologies. First, we need to investigate whether one can even speak of a notion of coexistent worlds prior to atomist theories. Second, the issue of infinite worlds is closely linked to the nature of Anaximander's scheme of the universe and Ionian cosmologies in general. Finally, this matter has a bearing on the subject of the duration or perishing of the world.

In recent years, exercise has shown a powerful ability to regulate the gut microbiota received with concern. For instance, compared with the sedentary group, high-level athletes showed a different gut microbiota composition and remarkable capability of physiological metabolism. In addition, different diet patterns ( eg , high-fat diet, high carbohydrate diet et.al ) have different effects on gut microbiota, which can also affect exercise performance. Furthermore, adaptations to exercise also might be influenced by the gut microbiota, due to its important role in the transformation and expenditure of energy obtained from the diet. Therefore, appropriate dietary supplementation is important during exercise. And exploring the mechanisms by which dietary supplements affect exercise performance by modulating gut microbiota is of considerable interest to athletes wishing to achieve health and athletic performance. In this narrative review, the relationship between gut microbiota, dietary supplements, training adaptations and performance is discussed as follows. (i) The effects of the three main nutritional supplements on gut microbiota and athlete fitness. (ii) Strategies for dietary supplements and how they exerted function through gut microbiota alteration based on the gut-brain axis. (iii) Why dietary supplement interventions on gut microbiota should be tailored to different types of exercise. Our work integrates these factors to elucidate how specific nutritional supplements can modulate gut microbiota composition and, consequently, influence training adaptations and performance outcomes, unlike previous literature that often focuses solely on the effects of exercise or diet independently. And provides a comprehensive framework for athletes seeking to optimize their health and performance through a microbiota-centric approach.
