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 elementary particles began again. The fastest development of atomistics took place in the 18th and 19th centuries when unquestionable proofs of atom's subsistence were presented.
