Space Time and Matter
By Tom Brown
“There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours. For the atoms
being infinite in number… are borne on far out into space.”
–Epicurus 341–270 BC
“Neither is there a smallest part of what is small, but there is always a smaller
(for it is impossible that what is should cease to be). Likewise there is always
something larger than what is large.”
–Anaxagoras c.500–428 BC
