Did you have a point to make, or did you just want me to read your mind? Have you even read much of Democritus?
I've studied the pre-socratics and the schools of ancient Greek philosophy extensively. Posting links to Wikipedia entries ain't gonna cut shit here.
Wikipedia Wrote:The theory of the atomists appears to be more nearly aligned with that of modern science than any other theory of antiquity. However, the similarity with modern concepts of science can be confusing when trying to understand where the hypothesis came from. It is obvious that classical atomists would never have had a solid empirical basis for our modern concepts of atoms and molecules. Bertrand Russell states that they just hit on a lucky hypothesis, only recently confirmed by evidence.
