Dates of scientists' births, and their contribution to pressure.

Died - May 11, 1686
Age - 83 Contibution to pressure - Created a vaccum pump and chamber around 1650
Age at contribution - around 48 He invented the first electro-static generator. -
October 25, 1647
Age - 39 Contibution to pressure - Created first Mercury Barometer in 1643
Age at contribution - 35 He gave the first scientific description for the cause of wind. -
Died - August 19, 1662
Age - 39 Contribution to pressure - Helped prove vaccums can exist when it was thought they were impossible to create
Age at contribution - 24 The pressure measurement "Pascal" was named after Paskal for his contibutions to science -
Died - July 8, 1695
Age - 66 Contribution to pressure - Built the U-tube pressure measurement device 1661
Age at contibution - 32 He wrote the first book about probablity theory -
Died - July 27, 1844
Age - 77 Contibution to pressure - Dalton created Dalton's law, which was also known as Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. This law stated what the total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture was equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture. Although his law isn't followed by actual gases, those deviations are are considered to be large at high pressures. Dalton also observed the empirical law.
Age at contribution - 35 -
Died - July 9, 1856
Age - 79 Contibution to pressure - Created avogadro's law, which states that the relationship between the masses of the same volume of different gases at the same temperature and pressure corresponds to the relationship between their respective molecular weights.
Age at contibution - approx 38 When he was 20, Avogadro was studying law not physics
