THE HISTORY OF ATOMISTICS
The knowledge about atom
and world's microstructure constitution was being compiled for over
two and a half thousand years by scientists and philosophers. The
history of their work started in ancient Greece. Then, during
Middle Ages, development of this
science was stopped and even regressed. But as early as in the
16th century the research on

atomistics took place in the 18th and
19th centuries when unquestionable proofs
of atom's subsistence were presented. To have a closer acquaintance
