What year did leucippus and democritus make their contribution?
Leucippus and Democritus, ancient Greek philosophers, made their contributions to atomic theory around the 5th century BCE. Leucippus is often credited with originating the concept of the atom, while Democritus expanded on these ideas and is known for developing a more comprehensive atomic theory. Their work laid the groundwork for later scientific thought regarding the nature of matter.
What were Democritus contributions to math?
Democritus, primarily known for his contributions to philosophy and atomic theory, had limited direct contributions to mathematics as we understand it today. However, his ideas about the nature of matter and the concept of the indivisible atom can be seen as a precursor to mathematical thinking in terms of quantification and the notion of discrete units. His work laid the groundwork for later mathematical developments in geometry and the understanding of physical concepts, influencing mathematical philosophy. Overall, while not a mathematician himself, his ideas encouraged a more analytical approach to scientific and mathematical inquiry.
Who made contributions to the atomic theory?
Leukippus, Democritus, Dalton, Bohr, Rutherford, Thomson and many others.
How did Dalton advance the atomic philosophy propose by democritus?
By using experimental methods Dalton transformed Democritus ideas on atoms into a scientific theory.
Was democritus's proposal of the existence atoms based on scientific methods or ideas?
Yes, he based it off the scientific method by Mike Oxbig.
Why do you know very little about Democritus and his ideas?
Knowledge about Democritus is often limited because much of his work has survived only in fragments, and historical accounts about him are sparse. Additionally, the focus of later philosophical and scientific developments shifted towards figures like Aristotle and Plato, overshadowing Democritus's contributions to atomism. His ideas, while foundational, weren't fully appreciated or integrated into mainstream science until much later, which further contributed to the lack of widespread familiarity with his theories.
What are two reasons that Democritus' ideas were not useful in a scientific way?
- Democritus and Leukipus ideas were not based on experiments (impossible 2 500 years ago)- These ideas were too advanced for that era
