jan 1, 350 BC - Aristotle
Description:
Aristotle said all matter is comprised of varying amounts of the four elements: earth, fire, wind, and water. When given the opportunity, matter will split into the basic elements that comprise it. Because of his popularity, Democritus’ more correct theory was ignored, which set back a lot of atomic science.
