Leucippus (480 BC - 420 BC)

Founder of Atomism, Leucippus advances the idea that everything is made up of eternal, indivisible elements called atoms. The world exists as a result of the constant action of the infinite number of atoms of countless shapes and sizes impinging upon one another in all directions within the unlimited void. The result is a vortex motion that unfolds the inexorable reality: “Naught happens for nothing, but all things from a ground and of necessity”.
