Expert Solution
Step 1

John Dalton (1766-1844) pioneered the theory that everything is formed of atoms in a book published in 1808. He is sometimes referred to as the "father" of atomic theory, although based on the photo on the right, "grandfather" could be a more appropriate title.

Although Isaac Newton is highly renowned for his discoveries in optics (white light composition) and mathematics (calculus), he is best remembered for his formulation of the three laws of motion, which are the fundamental principles of contemporary physics.
