He reasoned that if you kept cutting the stone into smaller and smaller pieces, you would reach a point so small that it could no longer be divided. So basic, yet so difficult to come to this conclusion with reasoning alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, his theory proposed that the world was made up of very small and indivisible particles, of eternal existence, homogeneous and incomprehensible, whose only differences were in shape and size. He named these particles \u201catoms\u201d, a word that comes from the Greek at\u00e9mnein and means \u201cindivisible\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Democritus, the properties of matter were determined by the way in which the atoms were grouped, which is why other philosophers, such as Epicurus, added to the theory, the random movement of the atoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Aristotle and Plato, two of the best-known philosophers of ancient Greece, rejected Democritus's theories. Aristotle accepted Empedocles' theory of Agrigento (Empedocles argued that all matter was composed of four elements: fire, air, water, and earth. The ratio of these four elements affected the properties of matter). Aristotle added his own idea (incorrect) that the four basic elements could be transformed into one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the great influence of Aristotle, Democritus's theory would have to wait almost 2,000 years before being rediscovered.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp2.rinconeducativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/democrito.jpg\" alt=\"Dem\u00f3crito\" class=\"wp-image-7616\" width=\"237\" height=\"260\" title=\"Dem\u00f3crito\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe entire universe is made up of unlimited space in which there are innumerable atoms.
