Evangelista Torricelli and Otto von Guericke, both associated with the development of barometric pressure and vacuum experiments, significantly advanced our understanding of atmospheric pressure. Von Guericke famously demonstrated the existence of a vacuum using his air pump, showing that two metal hemispheres could be held together by atmospheric pressure when the air was evacuated from inside. This experiment helped illustrate the strength of atmospheric pressure and laid foundational principles for later scientific developments in physics and engineering.
