“A detective with his murder mystery, a chemist seeking the structure of a new compound, use little of the formal and logical modes of reasoning. Through a series of intuitions, surmises, fancies, they stumble upon the right explanation, and have a knack of seizing it when it once comes within reach.” Gilbert N. Lewis (1875-1946)
“1. Small particles called atoms exist and compose all matter 2. They are indivisible and indestructible 3. Atoms of the same chemical element have the same chemical properties and do not transmute or change into different elements.” Actually all the three are wrong now. Good attempt anyway, Mr Dalton.
John Dalton introduced the atomic theory before leaving science and joining The Daltons.
