Epicurus also posited that the world is made of atoms — the atomos (indivisible) elements of matter.
Baryons (e.g., neutrons, protons) and mesons (e.g., pions, kaons), collectively known as hadrons, are believed to be formed from indivisible elements known as quarks, which have never been isolated.
In fact, any theory claiming that absolute continua are composed of indivisible elements seems very strange because continua are supposed to be infinitely divisible.
One example given of a Diodorean-true conditional, 'If it is not the case that there are indivisible elements of things, then there are indivisible elements of things' (SE, Outlines of Pyrrhonism 2.111), suggests that there was some awareness of these paradoxes in antiquity.
To take one example, Gassendi assumes material objects must have some substratum composed of basic and indivisible elements ('principles'), and proposes that atoms, as the best candidates for the role of substrata, are the material principles in question.
Indeed we have it on his own testimony that his philosophical system monadism grew from his struggle with the problem of just how, or whether, a continuum can be built from indivisible elements.
Therefore, an entity can be defined as the smallest indivisible element of matter that is related to the particular transfer phenomena.
SFDRR includes health as an indivisible component of DRR.
Logic requires that final elements are indivisible, hence points.
Atom: The smallest indivisible unit of elemental matter.
It is now known that his calculations used indivisibles (loosely speaking, "nearly" dimensionless elements) and that he found the area beneath the sine curve, a result previously obtained by Kepler.
