he did not develop anything regarding the 'atomic theory' for he was against that theory.
today
Leucippus is a mysterious figure whose exact dates are unknown - some say he never existed - but is still considered the be the founder of the Atomistic theory. Democritus was born 460 B.C. and died 370 B.C. He was a disciple of Leucippus and both men are credited with the atomistic theory.
Leucippus is best known as being one of the earliest Greeks to develop the the atomism theory. His main interest was metaphysics, and he has no exact recorded birthday or death date.
Leucippus
Yes, Democritus was a student of Leucippus. Leucippus was a pre-Socratic philosopher who is often credited as the founder of atomism, and Democritus was his most famous student. Together, they developed the theory that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
The Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus
The pre-modern idea of atomic theory was proposed by Greek thinkers like Democritus, Leucippus, and the Epicureans, which would have been at about 500 to 300 BC.
Leucippus was not an experimentalist 2 500 years ago.
Approx. 2 500 years ago. However, let's get our terminology straight: Leucippus didn't "discover" anything, except possibly that his fellow Greeks were willing to listen to any crazy idea you pulled out of your posterior. Leucippus and/or Democritus (his student) were the people who first talked about "atoms", but they had no idea what they were really like or even that they really existed.
