John+Dalton+A+LIGHT

Dalton was quite the character. He came up with several theories that were not to far from the truth. First off, he believed all atoms were invisible and indestructable and that everything is made up of atoms. Also, that compounds are formed of two or more atoms. Both of these things are correct. He also believed that all atoms of a element are the same, and that a chemical reaction is the re-arrangement of atoms. The man was a visionary, all of these things are almost dead on with what we know today.
