Who is Leucippus?
Leucippus was one of the earliest Greeks to develop the theory of atomism — the idea that everything is composed entirely of various imperishable, indivisible elements called atoms — which was elaborated in greater detail by his pupil and successor, Democritus.
He was most likely born in Miletus, although Abdera and Elea are also mentioned as possible birth-places.
