) was a "renormalizable" theory, allowing precise predictions of all physical quantities one could possibly measure in the theory, was completed by Freeman Dyson. His proof gave QED an unprecedented status in physics. QED provided a complete theory of the quantum interactions of electrons and light, with pr

Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in uranium in 1896, and only three years later Ernest Rutherford discerned that radioactivity oc- curred in two different types, which he labeled alpha and beta rays. A year later gamma rays were discovered, and R
