Probably "Boyle's Law":

"Robert Boyle: pioneer of modern science

The volume of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with the pressure when thetemperature is constant. That's Boyle's Law. We see its practical effects every time we watch the weather forecast to find out whether tomorrow will be fine enough for the beach, for camping, for going to a summer concert.

Boyle's Law underlies the forecasts: areas of high and low pressure and the fronts between them.

Important though it is, Boyle's Law is just one of the many achievements of one of the most remarkable Irish scientists. Born in Lismore Castle, Waterford, on 25 January 1627, Robert Boyle helped establish science as we know it today.

He has been called "the father of modern chemistry" and "the man who turned chemistry into a science". His name is most often linked with chemistry, but he also studied widely in physics, languages, agriculture, mathematics, philosophy and religion."


but some might argue it was for his book: "The Sceptical Chymist"


"Robert Boyle (Irish: Robaird Ó Bhaoill) (25 January 1627 – 30 December 1691) was an Irish natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, inventor, and early gentleman scientist, noted for his work in physics and chemistry. He is best known for the formulation of Boyle's law. Although his research and personal philosophy clearly has its roots in the alchemical tradition, he is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry. Among his works, The Sceptical Chymist is seen as a cornerstone book in the field of chemistry."
