Democritus knew about changes in motion of the atoms, and changes in the way that they were packed together.
 * Democritus** was born about 460 BC in Abdera, Thrace, Greece and died about 370 BC.

John Dalton** was born on September 6, 1766 in Eaglesfield, Cumberland and died July 27, 1844, in Manchester. Dalton is known for developed the atomic theory of matter. In 1799 he established the law of constant composition. In 1803 Dalton founded that oxygen and carbon combined would make two compounds.

Wilhelm C. Röntgen** was born on March 27, 1845, at Lennep in the Lower Rhine Province of Germany and died at Munich on February 10, 1923. In 1870 Röntgen published his first work having to do with heats and gasses, and later publishing his work on thermal conductivity of crystals. On November 8th Röntgen found that if he worked in a dark room and the discharge tube is enclosed letting in no light at all covering one side with a paper plate, and putting his wife in front of these rays would let him see an outline of his wifes hand and bone structure. (earlier known as "röntgenogram") Being the jerk he was instead of putting himself in front of the rays he made his wife try first.

Henri Becquerel** was born in Paris on December 15, 1852 and died at Le Croisic on August 25, 1908. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1903 for the services he has put in by his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity. Contribution: He worked along side with Marie Curie and also worked with radio activity wich has helped us now with X-Rays and is a huge contribution.

Joseph John Thomson** (J.J. Thomson) was born in Cheetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester on December 18, 1856 and died on August 30, 1940. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1906 for recognition of the great merits of his theoretical and experimental investigations on the conduction of electricity by gases. Contribution: Taught us more about how electricity and gasses have a connection and can work together.

Marie Curie** was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867 and died in Savoy, France on July 4, 1934. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for founding radium and being able to separate radium from radioactive residues. She was awarded twice for the Nobel Prize, once in Chemistry in 1911 and once more in Physics in 1903.

World War I was ocurring at this time*

Robert Milikan** was born on March 22, 1868, in Morrison, Ill. (U.S.A.) and died on December 19, 1953, in San Marino, California. Robert was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect. Also in 1910 Robert proved that the quantity of a charge carried by an electron was constant for all electrons. Contribution: Helped us with future knowledge of light and energy, we now have a better understanding.

Ernest Rutherford** was born on August 30, 1871, in Nelson, New Zealand and died in Cambridge on October 19, 1937. His ashes were buried in the nave of Westminster Abbey. Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1908 for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances. Contribution: Helped us have a better understanding of elements and the chemistry of radioactivness.

Niels Bohr** was born in Copenhagen on October 7, 1885 and died in Copenhagen on November 18, 1962. Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913. Niels was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on the structure of atoms in 1922.

Schrodinger was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933 for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory along with Paul Dirac they each shared a half of the Prize. Contribution: Gave us an even better understanding of the atomic theory.
 * Erwin Schrodinger** was born in Austria in 1887 and died in 1961.

Chadwick discovered nuetrons in 1932. He worked in the United States as Head of the British Mission for the development of the atomic bomb. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of nuetrons and there properties in 1935.
 * James Chadwick** was born in Cheshire, England, on October 20, 1891 and died on July 24, 1974.

World War I was ocurring at this time*

Werner was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932. In 1927 Werner discovered the uncertainty principle, if anyone measured a particle it would mess with its momentum.
 * Werner Heisenberg** was born December 5, 1901, at Würzburg and died on February 1, 1976.

At the end of World War II he and other german physicists were taken prisoner by american troops* and sent to England, and later returned to england in 1946*
