How did ideas Spread Among Scientist and Mathematicans?
Part of a scientist's job is to publish his ideas, experiments, and theories for other scientists to test and confirm
Why do scientists use models to study molecules and atoms?
because atoms are unseen so scientists or philosophers only conclude what comes to their mind, their thoughts and ideas. how will prove this if you can't? that's the disadvantages of always basing yourself on theories of scientists. People believe easily to them because they are philosophers but they didn't know how they conclude their theories.

What were Democrituss ideas?
Democritus, is perhaps one of the most well-known Greek philosophers, who lived from c. 460 - c. 37, born in the region of Abdera, in Greece. He is best known for inventing the theory of the atom. He said that once we die, our atoms, which have come together, disperse and turn into some other object or being. This, even though it may sound philosophical, also is incredibly scientifically accurate. Our atoms decompose and turn into the earth, only later to turn into a plant, or maybe a living creature. Hope this helps!
