Leucippus (lew sip' us),(birth and death unknown), [[Greek]] scientist.
Althought next to nothing is known about Leucippus, historians believe that by building off the concept of [[Anaximenes]], he came up with the idea that all things are made up of teeny units called [[atoms]]. Therefore, Leucippus is known as the father of atomic theory.
Much more is known about his student and his student's ideas about atoms, [[Democritus]].
