Introduced the atomic theory where geometric shapes serve as atoms
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato/ -
Contributed to the atomic theory, he said that everything is made up of tiny pieces and said that different shapes of atoms also give them different properties https://www.famousscientists.org/democritus/ https://www.britannica.com/biography/Democritus -
Discovered atoms must must exist based on the relationships between pressure and gas. He created Boyle's law. https://www.sciencehistory.org/historical-profile/robert-boyle https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/boyle_robert.shtml#:~:text=It%20is%20Boyle's%20Law%20for,'corpuscular%20theory'%20of%20chemistry. -
