What does Leucippus and Democritus believe about atoms?
They believed matter wasn't continuously divisible. But they couldn't explain how atoms combined to form solids, liquids, and gases. Democritus amde a comparison of any matter to a beach. When you are far away the beach looks like one thing ... a large continuous shunk of earth. As you get closer you can then see the individual grains of sand. He thought all matter was like this. As we get closer (or magnify) the matter we would eventually see that it was made of small indivisible particles. Indivisible or uncuttable was in Greek ATOMOS. This is where our word atom comes from
