Barred from English universities for his faith, Dalton turned stubborn curiosity into world-changing science, mapping colorblindness before anyone understood it and sketching the first table of elements in a notebook. This is how one weaver's son carried science from a Cumberland village to the Large Hadron Collider.  You'll learn: \u2022&amp;nbsp; How a Quaker weaver's son barred from university built the foundation of atomic theory \u2022&amp;nbsp; The stockings mix-up that led Dalton to discover, and later name, colorblindness \u2022&amp;nbsp; Why his five-element notebook sketch from 1803 still echoes inside the Large Hadron Collider &amp;nbsp; \ud83c\udf10 Website: https:\/\/www.MathScienceHistory.com \u2615Support the show: https:\/\/paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/PR7F7ST49GDNA &amp;nbsp; Follow or subscribe so you never miss an episode.
