Actually, Ostwald is said to have been convinced of the adequateness of the atomic theory through the agreement of the description [...] atomic model and the Democritus’ atomic theory. 9. Compare and write the differences between the philosophical and the scientific view, based on Democritus’ atomic theory about the structure of matter and [...] central, if not the central figure for the re- jection of this atomic theory was Aristotle, who advocated the four elements theory and added as a fifth: ether, which filled the space between the celestial

Whilst Rumford’s cannon boring experiments can be seen in direct relation to the establishment of the theory of heat, two other of his research projects [...] the importance of Lavoisier's work lies not in the fact that his system can be seen as the accepted theory – and actually Rumford’s work did not change this impression significantly, on the very contrary: [...] he did not agree with Joule's ideas at first, he became convinced and not only supported Joule's theory, but also started a successful collaboration with him. Thomson was skeptic about Joule’s experi-

the material bodies, the atomic theory of Democritus,..…) The most important points of the views of Democritus and Plato about the structure of matter are: Α) Atomic theory of Democritus ……………………………………… [...] the called “atoma” were not visible, so there was no proof for their existence and b) Aristotle's theory could explain his observations based on the above principles, whereas atomists were not able to offer [...] that no one could see. This was a significant point of criticism of Aristotle against the atomic theory, beyond the fact that he himself did not accept the idea of empty space, which according to his
