John dalton: First scientist to study color blindness!!!
John dalton was a humble 18th century scientist most famous for his work on atomic theory and color blindness. He was born on september 6th, 1766 in a small town of england to a family of poor quakers he was an exceptionally bright child and at a age of just 12, he was kept in a charge of his local quaker school at 15 he moved to kendal to teach the city and was not as cosmopolitan as london, but it was a big town to dalton. When he moved there in 1781 he saw an umbrella for the first time so he bought one and he said, "Now I am becoming a gentleman " as an instructor he was all about math sometimes he could get so preoccupied with mathematics he would not even notice the kids misbehaving, even when they were throwing pieces of paper at him. In kendal he met his mentor John Gough who was a blind english philosopher and a scientist he taught dalton the importance of diligence and hard work and dalton himself once said, "If I had succeeded it is not so much from a any superior genius but more from attention to study and perseverance." Dalton then brought his diligent sensibility to manchester in 1793 where he embarked on a number of intellectual works, many of which were inspired by the observation he made in his own life, like the time dalton thought he was buying his quaker mother a pair of conservative black stockings when in fact, they were bright scarlet.
And this is of course, how dalton realized he was color blind but back then they did not call that they did not call it anything because it was not a part of medical and scientific lexicon in fact, dalton was the one who investigated it further, in 1794 published a paper called "Extraordinary facts related to vision of color" his paper color blindness to the the attention of medical community and for many years, it was called Daltonism after dalton and alo dalton never married but he was fully devoted to his work he kept a meteorological diary in which he noted the barometric pressure, wind direction and velocity, rainfall and other details of the weather every single day for 57 years thats love his weather journal got got him interested in atmosphere and inspired him to look closer at the properties of gases, which led him to the theory on gas pressure and other mixtures which we now call Daltons law. His greatest contribution to science came in the form of his revolutionary atomic theory which in short pointed out the essential properties of atoms like their size, weight. mass and others he published all this findings in 1808 in a two part book called " A new system of chemical philosophy " his worked gain acceptance in science community and he quickly became the famous scientist of england but he never got too big for his britches. He continued teaching and researching until he died on july 27th, 1844 in manchester Daltons legacy would live on through his work, inspiring advances in atomic theory for years and reminding us that the biggest dont always have to come from the biggest personalities.
