Have you ever heard of this man? When you think of chemistry he is probably not the first thing to come to mind but Antoine is one of the people that made real change happen is the field of chemistry.
Antoine was a man who didn't have any formal training is science. In fact he went to school to become a lawyer. This was his parents wish but after he was done with his schooling he never did practice law. Instead Antoine devoted his efforts to science.
What was his greatest discovery and theory, the conservation of mass is basically what his theory was. Antoine believed that if you contained a reaction all parts of the chemical reaction and weighed the inputs and the out puts that the products of the reaction would weigh the same. While Antoine wasn't the person who first came up with this idea he was the man who figured out how to make it so that other people could understand the process and information and was able to show that discoveries were true thank to doing studies over again. This show that to create real change you do not necessarily need to come up with amazing new ideas but you do have to spend the time to check the findings of others and then explain the concepts in greater detail to truly make a difference in the world.
