In 1803, British chemist Jonh Dalton theorized that all matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Dalton showed that elements contain only one kind of atom, which has a specific weight, while compounds, being made up of multiple elements, contain more than one kind of atom. This theory further describes the make up of all things and gave scientist and all people and idea of what things and elements were made up of, at the most basic and smallest level. It broke down everything,showing that everyhting is just made up of a grouping of a atoms.This aided in further scientific research and has held true to the day. This discovery helped move science forward in these ways, and let to more experiments on atoms themselves, the atom is also a crucial part of the "big bang theory" which is being tested today.
