Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher, was the first person to introduce the idea of an atom. He proposed that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. Democritus' atomic theory laid the foundation for the modern understanding of atoms.
Democritus theorized that all matter was made up of indivisible, microscopic substances which were held together in various combinations that formed the objects that were perceived by our eyes. Because the word in Greek for indivisible is 'atomos', this theory gave rise to the atom. Democritus proposed this theory about 420 B.C.
It depends on how you look at matter. For example, photons are what is known as the particles of light, so imagine light being a stream of particles. These will travel at the speed of light within a vacuum. As of yet we have not achieved, and are nowhere near getting large matter like a person to travel anywhere near that speed.
Democritus was the one who came up with the concept and the name (atomos in Greek means "no-cut"). Democritus was mostly lucky, not prescient; the scientific method in ancient Greece largely consisted of coming up with as many wacky ideas as they possibly could, under the theory that eventually someone's wacky idea was bound to be right.
Democritus of Adbera was an ancient Greek philosopher, who conceived the idea that matter was made up of minuscule, irreducible particles, which he called atoms, a name derived from the Greek word atomos, meaning indivisible.) He said this about it:"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space. Everything else is opinion"Democritus' conception of the atom was, we now know, incorrect - the atom is not indivisible - but he was surprisingly close to the truth. However, being a philosopher and not a scientist, he never made any attempt to determine whether his theory was correct. As a result, although he is rightfully given credit as the first person to come up with this idea, he doesn't really deserve much more than that. In addition, Aristotle, one of the most highly respected Greek philosophers, hated the idea, and therefore it was forgotten until 1803, when John Dalton resuscitated the concept.
An atomist is a believer in atomism, a person who believes matter is composed of elementary indivisible particles.
An atomician is another word for an atomist, a person who believes matter is composed of elementary indivisible particles.
I believe it was Democritus.

Democritus and Dalton were the first to believe that all matter was made up of different indivisible elements called atoms. A lot of Dalton's atomic theory from the 1700s is still accepted in modern times.
That is the correct spelling of "indivisible" (unable to be divided).

Yes, snake.. No matter how you take care of them, no matter how you feed them, if given a chance they will bite you..

how can you describe a person with amnesia
No verbs will describe a person. A person is a noun, and verbs do not describe nouns. Adjectives describe nouns.Examples of adjectives that can describe a person and begin with the letter N:nervousnicenormalnurturing
