In this session, we will dive into the foundations of atomic theory. Starting with the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, who posited that all matter is composed of indivisible particles, we will explore how this idea evolved into modern scientific thought over two millennia, changing our worldview through pivotal revolutions in chemistry and physics. Join Yuutarou-sensei as we unravel the historical development of atomic theory and its profound implications on our understanding of matter.
