DOI: 10.1080/00107514.2017.1403478
Abstract: The elusive concept of mass later became a central physical quantity in Newton’s formulation of classical mechanics. The microscopic concept of indivisible atoms was subsequently refined by eighteenth-century chemists who demonstrated that it is essentially… read more here.
