jan 1, 350 BC - Aristotle
Description:
After Democritus died Aristotle rejected the idea of the "atomos" and went back to Empedocles theory of matter being made up of the four elements. Aristotle's theory that Democritus was wrong and Empedocles was right, actually sent many scientists in the wrong direction.
