= Atomism
{wiki=Atomism}
Atomism is a philosophical and scientific theory that proposes that the universe is composed of indivisible units known as atoms. The concept dates back to ancient times, with significant contributions from philosophers like Leucippus and Democritus in ancient Greece, who suggested that everything is made up of small, indivisible particles that move through space. In modern science, atomism has evolved to describe the understanding of matter in terms of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of elements.
