Marie+Curie-1901



Marie Sklodaska was born in Warsaw, Poland in the year of 1867 on November 17. She learned from her father the basics of school. As conflict arose in Europe, she was forced to move from country to country until she settled in Paris, France. There she met Pierre Curie and got married. With Pierres help she would win a Nobel Prize in physics in 1903. Marie and Pierre would isolate particles of Uranium from tons and tons and tons of Pitch blend. While seperating particles, they notice Uranium gave off more radiation than what was expected. Diving into this mystery they discovered radium and polonium.

What was remarkable about Marie Curies was that she abandoned the theory of invariable of atoms because she discovered that radium goes through an incredibly slow change rather than a chemical reactions between compounds. She discovered this in 1901.
