[edit] The year of Leucippus death.

The article contains contradicting information:

"Leukippos (Greek: Λεύκιππος, born in 500 BC – died in 450 BC)" "Around 440 B.C. or 430 B.C. Leucippus found a school at Abdera, which his pupil, Democritus, was closely associated with.[2]"

I believe 450B.C to be incorrect, I do not know what is correct though. Olemann89 19:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
