atoms
John Dalton used experiments and scientific tools to study matter. Aristotle and Democritus did not use such methods in their studies of matter.
Leukippus, Democritus, Dalton, Bohr, Rutherford, Thomson and many others.
By using experimental methods Dalton transformed Democritus ideas on atoms into a scientific theory.
Yes, he based it off the scientific method by Mike Oxbig.
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.
three scientific contributations
- Democritus and Leukipus ideas were not based on experiments (impossible 2 500 years ago)- These ideas were too advanced for that era
what are contributions of frank and lillian
he was a man who spent his time writing about scientific and philosophical studies! He also did some teaching while he was at it.+--
The ancient Greeks did not perform any experiments to test the atomic theory proposed by Democritus. To the ancient Greeks the atomic theory was a part of philosophy, not science.
