About Democritus
Democritus (c. 460 – c. 370 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher best known for his formulation of the atomic theory of the universe, positing that everything is composed of small, indivisible particles called atoms. A student of Leucippus, he proposed that atoms are eternal, unchangeable, and differ in shape and size, laying foundational ideas for modern science. His work emphasized a materialistic view of the universe, significantly influencing later philosophical and scientific thought.
