  • Robert Boyle makes discoveries

    Robert Boyle makes discoveries

    obert Boyle came up with a theory that is now referred to as Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law states that the amount of space gas takes up decreases as pressure is applied. Boyle also showed that air has mass and gasses exert pressure against the things containing them.
