Maharishi Kanada invented atomic theory before 600 BC
From his philosophy - Vaisheshika Sutra
There are nine constituents of realities: four classes of atoms (earth, water, light and air), space (akasha), time (kāla), direction (disha), infinity of souls (Atman), mind (manas).
Every object of creation is made of atoms (paramāṇu) which in turn connect with each other to form molecules (aṇu). Atoms are eternal, and their combinations constitute the empirical material world.
Individual souls are eternal and pervade material bodies for a time.
