Scientists have long struggled with the question as to whether matter consisted ultimately of an aggregate of indivisible ‘‘atoms’’, or whether any small parcel of material could be subdivided indefinitely into smaller and smaller pieces. As we all now realize, ordinary matter does indeed consist of atoms. However, far from being indivisible, these atoms split into a staggering array of other particles under sufficient application of energy -- indeed, much of modern physics is the study of the structure of atoms and their constituent particles. Previous to the advent of quantum mechanics and the associated experimental techniques for studying atoms, physicists tried to understand every aspect of the behavior of matter and energy in terms of continuum mechanics. For instance, attempts were made to characterize electromagnetic waves as .
