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

Geiger had begun his career by doing the experiments, with Ernest Marsden, that Ernest Rutherford utilized to discover the existence of the atomic nucleus. Geiger had just returned from England, where ■ worked with Rutherford, to direct a new l

But, then again, to rephrase Ernest Rutherford; if you need to use statistics to prove your theory, you ought to have thought of a better theory. In the event of some party choosing to award me
