Description:
Formulated the Atomic theory, the belief that all things were created out of “atoms”, physically indivisible but not geometrically. He believed that the atoms of things also had their traits, IE, water atoms were slippery, iron atoms were hard, and had hooks that kept them together. (Similar to the elemental polytopes.)
