| The laughing Democritus by Hendrick Terbrugghen. |
Matter presumably consist of least particles, called 'atoms'. The opposite assumption is, that there are no least particles. Democritus' choice was the first. Achievements in science leave us with some kind of synthesis: It is both.
Bose-Einstein Condensate exists at temperatures close to zero. The atoms are indistinguishable. Such extreme conditions are present nowhere, except in the laboratory. Anyhow, psycisists discuss the dawn of time: The Big Bang. In the begining there were no atoms. There was just a homogenous primordial soup. Here and now atoms exist. There are least particles in matter. Democritus was right, I believe - at least to some extent.
