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.
Democritus was a GREEK philosopher so if u absolutely have NO brains. Democritus was born in ABDERA, GREECE.
This was an intuition of Leukippus and Democritus.
The full name of Democritus is Democritus of Abdera.
Democritus' wife's name is not known as there is limited information available about her in historical records. Democritus was an ancient Greek philosopher credited with developing the atomic theory of the universe.
Democritus is known for developing the atomic theory, proposing that all matter is made up of indivisible atoms. Epicurus built upon this theory, focusing on the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain as the keys to a happy life. Both philosophers had a significant influence on the development of materialism and ethical hedonism in ancient Greek philosophy.
Democritus's main contribution to physics was discovery of the atom. He devoted his life to finding out as much as possible to create what is thought to be the first atomic theory.
Wikipedia has no reference of Democritus' contribution to Trig. He contributed to Atomic theory, and to Geometry. Some Geometry and Trig. topics overlap, so maybe that is what you are referring to.

Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher, is known for proposing the concept of atomism - the idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. His ideas laid the foundation for modern atomic theory and influenced the development of scientific thought in fields such as chemistry and physics.
Demrocritus contributed that all things originate from a vortex of tiny, indivisible particles, which he called atoms
Democritus was an ancient Greek philosopher who developed the concept of atomism, suggesting that all matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms. His ideas laid the foundation for the modern atomic theory in physics, which states that matter is composed of discrete units. Democritus also proposed that different atoms have unique shapes and sizes, influencing their properties and interactions.
Leucippus and Democritus, ancient Greek philosophers, made their contributions to atomic theory around the 5th century BCE. Leucippus is often credited with originating the concept of the atom, while Democritus expanded on these ideas and is known for developing a more comprehensive atomic theory. Their work laid the groundwork for later scientific thought regarding the nature of matter.
This name is not known.
Democritus was a philosopher, not an experimentalist.

well, according to my knowledge, he didn't really "create" anything in fact he found out that everything is made of atoms but he described atoms as being solid spheres. But many people disagree with his theory. Modern Chemistry would have not been the same without the contribution of our future scientist Democritus the man who developed atomism.
