Timeline of atomic and subatomic physics

(Redirected from Timeline of microphysics)

A timeline of atomic and subatomic physics, including particle physics.

Antiquity

edit
  • 6th - 2nd Century BCE Kanada (philosopher) proposes that anu is an indestructible particle of matter, an "atom"; anu is an abstraction and not observable.[1]
  • 430 BCE[2] Democritus speculates about fundamental indivisible particles—calls them "atoms"

The beginning of chemistry

edit

The age of quantum mechanics
