Which means everything contains a portion of everything else, and a large piece of something contains as many portions as a small piece of it, though they differ in size; but every substance does not contain all the infinite number of substances in equal proportions. Xenophanes is a Greek philosopher who said that that earth and water are the principle stuffs of nature and, based in part on his observations of fossils, he held the view that our world has gone through alternating periods of extreme wetness and dryness. He also explained that a rainbow is nothing but a cloud.

Leucippus is a Greek philosopher who was the founder of Atomism. He said movement does in fact exists since movement exists there must be vacuum, but that since vacuum cannot really be it must be identified with not being. Also he said the real differences among the element, which cause all other differences are three shape, arrangement, and position. Democritus was a student of Leucippus, and he expanded the atomic theory of Leucippus. He explained that there are an infinite number of atoms, and kinds of toms, which differ in shape, and size.

Of the mass of atoms, also he said "The more any indivisible exceeds, the heavier it is. " But his exact position on weight of atoms is disputed. Also he said the source of knowledge is the senses, and explains the process of perception is the result of that sense of movement of the atoms in the air and their impact on members of the passive sense.

He well known from his paradoxes. The most famous are the arguments against motion. The first one is the Achilles which is In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead.

The second one is the dichotomy paradox which is a runner will never reach the stationary goal line of a racetrack. The reason is that the runner must first reach half the distance to the goal, but when there he must still cross half the remaining distance to the goal, but having done that the runner must cover half of the new remainder, and so on. If the goal is one meter away, the runner must cover a distance of 1/2 meter, then 1/4 meter, then 1/8 meter, and so on.

The third one is the Arrow, which is if everything when it occupies an equal space is t rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless. The forth one is the moving rows, concerning the two rows of bodies, each row being composed of an equal number of bodies of equal size, passing each other on a race- course as they proceed with equal velocity in opposite directions, the one row originally occupying the space between the goal and the middle point of the course and the other that between the middle point and the starting-post.
