The original concept of Greek philosophers of indivisibility (Atomos) for the smallest possible component of matter

  • is a philosophical error because it assumes the macroscopic concept of objects consisting of smaller objects; this idea leads to a mistake in elementary particles.
  • has been taken over in advance in the discovery of the chemical elements (period system). Preluctant because the sub-components such as protons, neutrons, electrons were still unknown, and because the unstable heavy elements were unknown which could disintegrate into lighter elements.

With a scissors you can’t cut the pieces from which the scissors are made. That’s right. The basic idea is therefore conclusive.

It is possible to disintegrate atoms by shooting neutrons. The disintegration does not happen immediately, but nevertheless the causal chain of action can be assumed here, that the atom that shoots the neutron will eventually disintegrate, i.e., divide the atom.

What is in contradiction with the thesis.

Oh, the thesis is right. The Greek atomic means indivisible. Only this word was applied to the wrong particles which, after later research, were composed of other, smaller particles and thus have proved to be quite divisible. Otherwise, for example, there would be no nuclear power plants. The “real” indivisible particles, which would rightly earn the name atoms, have not yet been found afaik.

The thesis “atoms are indivisible” is wrong, as it contradicts the current scientific findings. The idea that atoms are indivisible building blocks of matter has long been considered as a valid assumption and was part of the Dalton atomic model, which was published in the 19th century. century was developed.

However, later discoveries and experiments have shown that atoms are actually divisible. The breakthrough came with the discovery of the substructure of the atom, in particular the existence of electrons, protons and neutrons.

Electrons, protons and neutrons.

The neutrons have always been there. But people think old things are new when they discover them. The new world (America), the new girlfriend or new citizen.

Because the cause of this thesis is not yet understood.

I accept because they’re partable, otherwise the thesis would be right.

Sounds funny, but it is.

Because there are nuclear power plants
