 | | From the Demokritos atom to Rutherford, the Bohr atom and Pauli's Exlusion Principle |
 | | The idea of atoms has been around since the fifth century BC when a jolly philosopher named Demokritos opposed the popular idea of the four elements (fire, earth, water, air) and argued that everything is made up from elements that can not be divided any further. |
 | | Pauli discovered that electrons have a total of four characteristics, some of which can have two values (1 or 0; yea or nay, etc), leaving the electron eight separate states to exist in. |
