1, 18. On void

1 All physicists from Thales until and including Plato rejected the void in the real sense of the word;

2 Empedocles: and of the All nothing is empty or superfluous.

3 Leucippus Democritus Demetrius Metrodorus Epicurus (say that) the atoms are infinite in number, and the void infinite in size.

4 Strato said that there is no void outside the cosmos, but that it is possible for it to occur inside.

5 Zeno and his followers (say) that inside the cosmos there is no void at all, but outside it (scil. the cosmos) it is infinite.

6 Aristotle said that the void outside the cosmos is exactly large enough for the heavens to breathe into it; for inside there is a fiery place.
