Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton was born on the 25 December 1642, an died on the 20 March 1727 (aged 84). He was born in England.
Isaac Newton was an English mathematician of his generation. He laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known. -
John Dalton
John Dalton was born in 1766 and died at the age of 77yrs. He Taught Maths and philosophy at an Englsih University in the 19th Century. Discovered the laws of constant compostition, mass of oxygen 2.66. -
Wilhelm Rontgen
Wilhelm Rontgen was born on March 27 1845, in Lennep in the Lower Rhine Province of Germany.
Rontgen's name is chiefly associated with his discovery of the rays that he called x-rays. In 1895 he was studying the phenomena accompanying the passage of an electric current through a gas of extremely low pressure. Previous work in this field had already been carried out by J Plucker, J Hittorf C Varley E Goldstein, Sir Crookes. -
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Plank
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born in Kiel in Germany on April 23th 1858. He died on October 4, 1947. He was the son of Julius Wilhelm and Emma Planck. His father was a Professor of Constitutional Law in the University of Kiel. -
Joseph John Thomson
Joesph John Thomson lived in britian for his life. He Was born on the 28th of December 1856, and died on the 30th of August 1940
Claimed that a Fundement Unit was 1000 times smaller than an atom in 1897.
Joesph John Thomson quoted 'atoms were built up from a more Fundamental unit, but they encisionbed this unit to be the size of the smallest atom, hydrogen.'’ -
Robert Andrews Millikan
Robert Andrews Millikan was born on the 22nd of March, 1868, in MorrisonMillikan conducted the Oil Drop Experiment, in which he sprayed tiny oil droplets and had them fall through a small, charged hole into a closed area. The oil droplets now had a charge on them.He, then, introduced the area to an electric field. The charged oil particles now moved up and down at his whim. By observing the speed of the particles, he was able to find out the charge on a single electron: 1.6*10-19 Coulombs. -
Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford was born 30 August 1871 in new Zealand. Died on the 19th October 1937 and lived in Britian
He discovered alpha and beta rays set forth the laws of radioactive decay, and identified alpha particles as helium nuclei. -
Frederick Soddy
Was born 2nd September 1877 in Eastbourne, Sussex England died on 22nd September1956 in Brighton, Sussex, England , no records of why he died.
English chemist Frederick Soddy proposed in 1912 that the same elements exist in different forms, with nuclei having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. -
Enrico Frtmi

The son of a railroad official, he studied at the University of Pisa from 1918 to 1922 and later at the universities of Leyden and Gottingen. He became professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome in 1927. -
Paul Dirac
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was born on the 8th August 1902 in Bristol, England. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1933 was awarded jointly to Erwin Schrodinger and Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory". -
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in Wutttemberg Germany on March 14, 1879.In the year 1905, Albert Einstein published a number of scientific works that changed physics forever. The best known of these now known as the Special Theory of Relativity. Established Einstein as a scientist of note and led to his Theory of Relativity, one of the pilllars of modern physics. In a second 1905 papper.
