A. Have you ever heard of the term 'Rubenesque'? This is where that comes from. Most of these women were beautiful...but back then, there was a 'happy-medium' as well. If they were too large, they were considered grotesque. The women in his paintings had "just the right amount of flesh".

A. This is Greek mythology. Didn't really happen. The painting was done by Peter Paul Reubens between 1615 and 1618. The painting provides a dilemma for the viewer drawn between an equivocation between violence and solicitude in the demeanor of the brothers, and an equivocation between resistance and gratification in the response of the sisters. In Greek mythology, Leucippus, son of Gorgophone and Perieres, was the father of Phoebe and Hilaeira, and also of Arsinoe, mother (in some versions of the myth) of Asclepius, by his wife Philodice, daughter of Inachus. Castor and Polydeuces abducted and married Phoebe and Hilaeira, the daughters of Leucippus.

Asked by nemisismixa - Thu Oct 26 12:35:06 2006 - Chemistry - 1 Answers - Comments

A. It was strict a thought experiment. Aristotle thought that if you take any object you can continue to break it in half forever without ever coming to an end. (kind os like if you continue to go each tiome half way towards a wall you will never reach the wall. Democritus reasoned that eventually you would have to get a piece that could no longer be cut in half. He called this piece atomos which is greek for indivisible. Neither person could test their theories so it stayed that way for almost 1800 years.

A. Rubens's Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus confronts its viewers with an interpretative dilemna. Painted about 1615 to 1618, the life-size composition illustrates the story recounted by Theocritus and Ovid of how the twin brothers Castor and Pollux (called the Dioscuri) forcibly abducted and later married the daughters of King Leucippus. Rubens's depiction of the abduction is marked by some striking ambiguities: an equivocation between violence and solicitude in the demeanor of the brothers, and an equivocation between resistance and gratification in the response of the sisters. The spirited ebullience and sensual appeal of the group work to override our darker reflections about the coercive nature of the abduction. For these reasons many… [cont.]

Q. If you disagree, put forth to serve as a basis for the construction of a valid reasoning? Physics: Physics is the study of matter and energy. Matter is anything that takes up space. All matter consists of countless tiny particles called atoms. Democritus and his collaborators, among which in fairness should not be forgotten Leucippus and Epicurus, the latter being the actual creator of the name "atom", had also many other beautiful views on the subject of the doctrine of Democritus, called atomic theory, which has remained for over two thousand years. Example: our world is made up of atoms, and our experiences and recognitions are atomic telegrams. "Where in the world, appears a new thing, it really is not anything new that… [cont.]

A. Democritus agreed that everything which is must be eternal, but denied that "the void" can be equated with nothing. This makes him the first thinker on record to argue for the existence of an entirely empty "void". In order to explain the change around us from basic, unchangeable substance he created a theory that argued that there are various basic elements which always existed but can be rearranged into many different forms. Democritus' theory argued that atoms only had several properties, particularly size, shape, and (perhaps) weight; all other properties that we attribute to matter, such as color and taste, are but the result of complex interactions between the atoms in our bodies and the atoms of the matter that… [cont.]

A. Leucippus originated the notion of atoms, an idea expanded and expounded by his pupil, Democritus. If matter is divided into a nearly infinite number of minute particles, then random events can be explained by the interaction of these atoms. While it may be impossible to detect the cause of everything, because we cannot detect and measure these, their existence implies that the explanation exists. It took over two thousand years to disprove this hypothesis, aside from the obvious irrational behavior of humans and what has been called "the innate perversity of inanimate objects" and "Murphy's Law."

Is the concept of matter problematic whether it occupies space or does not occupy space?
Q. Obviously we want the word matter to mean the thing that forms substance of all the things in the universe. Pythagoras (600 BC) said that the one thing that formed the substance (matter?) of all the infinite things in the universe was number. He said that zero (x-x) is void and void can have no role in the working of the universe. Parmenides used logical arguments to support his belief that what exists is one, eternal, indivisible, motionless, finite and spherical. If there was no void it would mean the reality is backgroundless. Therefore, what exists cannot become something else - change and plurality (reality consisting of many substances) are illusions. Parmenides also said that a change implies that we are talking about something that… [cont.]

A. Modern physics, which does not rely on any laws of thought, tells us that matter not only occupies space - it creates space - the Euclidean universe is illusory, what exists is space-time. Modern physics also tells us that a true vacuum, nothingness, is impossible in normal space-time, thus nothing comes from nothing, yet the four Fundamental Forces still interact to form everything we see at our present level of entropy. Of course not knowing the physics of dark matter and dark energy, everything you and I, or the ancient Greeks say is incomplete and subject to revision.

Leucippus or Leukippos was one of the earliest Greeks to develop the theory of atomism the idea that everything is composed entirely of various imperishable, indivisible elements called atoms which was elaborated in greater detail by his pupil and successor, Democritus. Leucippus (c. 480 - c. 420 B.C.) is credited with coming up with atomism, although sometimes this credit is extended equally to Democritus of Abdera, the other main early atomist. Leucippus is named by most sources as the originator of the theory that the universe consists of two different elements, which he called the full or solid, and the empty or void . Both the void and the solid atoms within it are thought to be infinite, and between them to constitute the elements of… [cont.]
