Portrait of British physicist and chemist John Dalton (1766-1844).
His most important contribution to science was his theory that matter is composed of atoms of differing weights and combine in simple ratios by weight. This theory is the cornerstone of modern physical science.
He also described the condition of color blindness, known as daltonism.
