Yes well,

The Greeks had a 'fundamental' knowledge of atoms. Of course they had no real scientific method and Plato believed that it was possible to deduce all there was to know from an armchair.

I guess thats why there are no Bikini like incidents emanating from Ancient Greece. Probably also why they had to take rations to the Moon, a dearth of Souvlaki shops.
