Formulated an atomic theory for the cosmos.
Believes there is a particle that is the simplest building block of matter, named "atomos" from the Greek word for "undivided."
All atomos must have size, shape and weight as well.http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/kilnerr/575/vftatom.html

English chemist, meteorologist, and physicist "Atomic Theory." Its tenets are as follows:
1. Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms.2. All atoms of a given element are identical.3. Atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element. Atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective weights.
4. Atoms of one element can combine
with atoms of another element in simple, whole number ratios to form compounds.5. Atoms cannot be created,
destroyed or subdivided.
