Author: Carl Sagan
Another interesting clip from the classic book from Carl Sagan:
Democritus invented the word atom, Greek for “unable to be
cut.” Atoms were the ultimate particles, forever frustrating our attempts to
break them into smaller pieces. Everything, he said, is a collection of atoms,
intricately assembled. Even we. “Nothing exists,” he said, “but atoms and the
void.”
Marinate on that for a second.
