= = Democritus was a Greek philosopher who spent all of his wealth traveling the world and studying everywhere he went. He came up with the idea that all matter is made up of tiny, smaller pieces. He believed there were tiny imperishable elements that he called atoma which means "indivisible units" His idea continued that all these little atomas form together to form bigger clusters that group together to what we see today in everything we see and touch. He also believed that these clusters were what made up the certain things specific characteristics. - Aristotle 384 BC – 322 BC
