Description:
Democritus, a philosopher in ancient Greece, began the search for a description of matter. He questioned whether matter could be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever until eventually the smallest possible piece would be obtained. He believed that the smallest possible piece of matter was invisible and he named the smallest piece of matter "atomos," meaning "not to be cut." To Democritus, atoms were small, hard particles that were all made of the same material, but were formed into different shapes and sizes.
