 Democritus of Abdera (about 460-350 ANC), a contemporary of Socrates, disciple of Leucippus, and scientific research -naturalista acknowledged even by his opponents as Aristotle, began to explain the nature of all things and for him this was materials consisting of tiny particles, "rough" or "smooth", unchanging and indivisible, homogeneous and actual calls atoms, that by virtue of its existence and knowability are the different types and textures of matter that exists. The phenomena of atoms are formed. The turning point in the development of science that Galileo began in the seventeenth century, was based on the atomism of Democritus. Galileo's philosophy stands out for having prioritized the quantitative over the qualitative, being the first and the main seal research of modern natural science. The atomistic philosophy of Democritus was projected to the physics of Newton, whose contribution revolutionized human knowledge and our vision of the universe.
