Modern scientific theories, which postulate a complex system of elements and subatomic particles out of which everything else is made, follow the same basic strategy of explanation as

A) Thales.
B) Aristotle.
C) Parmenides.
D) Hegel.

Subatomic Particles

Particles that are smaller than an atom, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are the basic building blocks of atoms.

Elements

Elements are fundamental components or substances that cannot be broken down into simpler forms by chemical means.

Scientific Theories

Well-substantiated explanations of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of empirical evidence and subjected to the scientific method.
