This lecture introduces the concept of atomism, starting with the Presocratic philosophers who proposed bold hypotheses about the universe's constitution. It covers Democritos' atomic theory, Newton's view on matter, and Feynman's atomic hypothesis. The lecture explores the fundamental ontology of atomism, laws of particle interaction, and the debate on action at a distance.
