Aristotle (jan 1, 384 BC – jan 1, 322 BC)
Description:
Greek philosopher Aristotle believed in the idea that the earth, fire, air, and water were the four primary components of matter; that those four elements composed all matter in the universe. Although this ideology wasn't completely accurate, it still introduced the concept that all matter is essentially divisible, and can be broken down into some small form.Added to timeline:
