Niels Henrik David Bohr (Danish, 7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a

Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic


structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.

Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, (30 August 1871 – 19 October
1937), was a New Zealand-born British physicist who came to be known as the
father of nuclear physics. Encyclopædia Britannica considers him to be the greatest
experimentalist since Michael Faraday (1791–1867).

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical
physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern
physics (alongside quantum mechanics). His work is also known for its influence on
the philosophy of science.

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, (23 April 1858 – 4 October 1947) was a
German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel
Prize in Physics in 1918.

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (26 August 1743 – 8 May 1794), also Antoine


Lavoisier after the French Revolution, was a French nobleman and chemist who was
central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and who had a large influence on
both the history of chemistry and the history of biology. He is widely considered in
popular literature as the "father of modern chemistry".
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (often romanized as Mendeleyev or Mendeleef) 8
February 1834 – 2 February 1907 [OS 27 January 1834 – 20 January 1907]) was a
Russian chemist and inventor. He is best remembered for formulating the Periodic
Law and creating a farsighted version of the periodic table of elements. He used the
Periodic Law not only to correct the then-accepted properties of some known
elements, such as the valence and atomic weight of uranium, but also to predict the
properties of eight elements that were yet to be discovered.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical


period in Ancient Greece. He was the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic
school of philosophy and Aristotelian tradition. Along with his teacher Plato, he has
been called the "Father of Western Philosophy". His writings cover many subjects –
including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry,
theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics and government.

Leucippus and Democritus were the earliest Greek atomists. The originator of the
atomic theory, Leucippus (fifth century BCE), must be considered a speculative
thinker of the first order, but to Democritus (c. 460–c. 370 BCE) must go the credit
for working out the detailed application of the theory and supporting it with a subtle
epistemology. Moreover, the range of Democritus's researches surpassed that of any
earlier philosopher, and he appears to have been an original and, for his day,
advanced ethical thinker.

John Dalton (6 September 1766 – 27 July 1844) was an English chemist, physicist,
and meteorologist. He is best known for introducing the atomic theory into
chemistry, and for his research into colour blindness, sometimes referred to as
Daltonism in his honour.
