Listen "Leucippus and Democritus Derive the Atom!"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we discuss a pair of ancient Greek philosophers whose relationship was akin to that of Socrates and Plato, but whose insights on the microcosmic nature of nature was so prescient that it would ultimately be passed over for hundreds of years. Due to a lack of surviving work from Leucippus the episode is focused largely on Democritus who appears to have exceeded his mentor in both scope and discipline.
