31 dez 451 ano antes da era comum - Democritus Introduces the Atom

Descrição:

a Greek philosopher named Democritus wondered what would happen if you cut a piece of matter, such as an apple, into smaller and smaller pieces. He thought that a point would be reached where matter could not be cut into still smaller pieces. He called these "uncuttable" pieces atomos. This is where the modern term atom comes from.
