An Early Atomic Theory

Maharshi Kanada – The pro ponder of Atomic Theory[600 BCE]

According to one metaphysical scheme common in the Buddha's day, all material things were said to consist of a combination of minute particles, and each of these minutes particles were said to be composed of smaller particles.
