Watt was a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Society of London. He was a member of the Batavian Society, and one of only eight Foreign Associates of the French Academy of Sciences. The watt is named after James Watt for his contributions to the development of the steam engine, and was adopted by the Second Congress of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1889 and by the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 as the unit of power incorporated in the International System of Units (or "SI"). This SI unit is named after James Watt. As with every SI unit whose name is derived from the proper name of a person, the first letter of its symbol is uppercase (W). When an SI unit is spelled out in English, it should always begin with a lowercase letter (watt), except where any word would be capitalized, such as at the beginning of a sentence or in capitalized material such as a title. Note that "degree Celsius" conforms to this rule because the "d" is lowercase.
-Based on The International System of Units, section 5.2.

The biggest contribution of Blaise Pascal in physics is his contribution towards atmospheric pressure. He discovered that vacuums are real and exist in the real world.

James Watt's full name is James Gaius Watt.
His full name is James Gaius Watt.
James Chadwick's most significant contribution to physics was his discovery of the neutron in 1932, which helped to further our understanding of atomic structure and led to the development of nuclear physics. This discovery earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935 and laid the foundation for the subsequent development of nuclear energy and the atomic bomb.
contribution of chemistry to physics
Although he made enormously important contributions to physics, his contribution to mathematics was limited. The non-existence of a fixed frame of reference is probably the most significant mathematical contribution - as opposed to contribution to physics.

Democritus's main contribution to physics was discovery of the atom. He devoted his life to finding out as much as possible to create what is thought to be the first atomic theory.
Newton's mathematical contribution is the mathematical law of Gravity and the calculus. F=mGM/r2, is introduced mathematical physics, modern physics.
