Why not join us at a public
lecture by Hypatia, the
famous female
mathematician and
philosopher.

DEMOCRITUS DECLARES
HIS NEW THEORY.
Renowned philosopher now
says stuff is made of small
particles that have different
shapes and sizes. He calls
these particles, Atomos.

Plato, celebrity of
ancient Greece, has this
to say about the new
theory:
I don’t think so.

Elements should be arranged by Atomic

Henry Moseley, only 24 years old, has given

us the final piece of the periodic table puzzle.
Elements should be arranged by atomic
number. After this discovery, he is off to fight
