Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford was a nuclear physicist. You may recognise him from the $100 NZ dollar note. He came a long way full of achievements. His impact on the world was when he split the atom which created a source of energy. For that he was knighted and awarded the Nobel Prize For Chemistry.

Kia ora Aleenah,
ReplyDeleteErnest Rutherford sounds like an incredibly smart human-being! Is he from New Zealand? Is that why he is on the New Zealand $100 note? I always admire people who are talented in science (Like Rutherford). It's such an incredibly complex subject, and for him to be able to split the atom is incredible! Do you enjoy science?
