Reading from The Six Systems of Vedic Philosophy
http://mahaprabhu.net/test/Sad-darshana.pdf

This session begins discussion of the Vedic Atomic Theory (vaisesika).  Vaisesika differs from modern atomic theory in many ways.  Vaisesika considers atoms to be concrete, indivisible particles whereas the modern theory defines atomic particles as divisible mathematical entities which must be shown to exist in the laboratory.  Numerous difficulties plague the modern theory including the problem of infinite divisibility, problems with cosmology, and failure to account for the behavior of systems of particles.  Most importantly, the modern theory does not account for mind or person, whereas vaisesika theory accounts for these as unique substances among the Nine Dravyas.
