The History of Atoms? Since the early days of mankind philosophers have speculated what the smallest component may be which makes up matter. They intuitively assumed that this question makes sense, i.e. that there is such a thing as the “smallest scale”. However, answering this question is out of the scope of science itself, but is rather in the realm of philosophy. The idea of tiny, indivisible units dates back to the ancient Greeks who invented the word “atom” (ατομος=indivisible unit). The first known inventor of this idea was Leukipp (5th century BC). Demokrit (also 5th century BC) refined the theory further by introducing different properties of atoms and later followed an atom-based creation theory by Epikur (3rd century BC).
