Actually, Ostwald is said to have been convinced of the adequateness of the atomic theory through the agreement of the description [...] ancient materialism. Around 430 BC he presented an atom- ic theory of the cosmos and is now considered to be the “father of the materia- list theory of matter and modern science.” Democritus, like many of [...] was extremely hard to find reliable data, so we cannot be sure what scientific theories existed in that time. These theories were formulated based on primitive experiments and were connected to philosophical
