Today there are many overlooked applications for the theories of many Philosophers, as well as the attendant millennia of research. In this paper I outline several concepts in both ancient Philosophy and modern Science which appear to correlate. I begin with a rather in depth analysis of the 'Achilles and the Tortoise' paradox and its relation to thermodynamics. Second I discuss the a priori theory of Kant and how it could be utilized in the field of cognitive science. Finally I touch upon Heraclitus of Ephesus and the relation of his work to modern Chaos theory, suggesting that the labors of the past have conceptual applicability to the studies of the present.
