AI overview
Leucippus was an ancient Greek thinker who developed atomism, the theory that all things are made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms separated by empty space. His ideas were influential throughout ancient and Renaissance philosophy and offered an important challenge to earlier Greek philosophers who denied the existence of empty space.
