Verb

Webster 1913 has an obsolete verb atom, "to reduce to atoms". I can't find the Feltham citation mentioned. Equinox ◑ 21:38, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Proof of historic term

Mentioned in the article is that atom has an obsolete meaning "The smallest medieval unit of time, equal to fifteen ninety-fourths of a second.", but I cannot find any documented evidence of this online, only duplications of the statement. Anyone able to back this up? 15.195.185.75 08:23, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
