democratus
Democratus lived in ancient Greece from about 460 BCE to about 370 BCE.
The idea that the world is made up of atoms was proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher, Democritus, around 400 BC. He suggested that all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms that are constantly in motion. This atomic theory laid the foundation for modern chemistry.
