Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 10, 2015 Two very notable physicists of all things! 1. English physicist Henry 'Harry' Moseley, 100 years ago August 10. "Moseley's outstanding contribution to the science of physics was the justification from physical laws of the previous empirical and chemical concept of the atomic number. This stemmed from his development of Moseley's law in X-ray spectra. Moseley's Law justified many concepts in chemistry by sorting the chemical elements of the periodic table of the elements in a logical order based on their physics." 2. 70 years ago Robert Hutchings Goddard (October 5, 1882 August 10, 1945) was an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor who is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
