Democritus



(460 BC- 370 BC)

Through his many travels he picked extensive knowledge and was also said to be educated by Chaldean magi.

Democritus said that all matter was made up of small particles, which he named "atomos", and could not be broken down. These atoms were infinite, always moving, and could bind with each other.
