Rollover Text: J.J. Thompson won a Nobel Prize for his work in electricity in gases, but was unfairly passed over for his "An atom is plum pudding, and plum pudding is MADE of atoms! Duuuuude." theory.
See, it's funny because some of those are actual models of the atom...
- 1810 - John Dalton's first experimental atomic model
- 1904 - JJ Thomson's addition of the electron
- 1911 - Ernest Rutherford's nuclear model
- 1913 - Neils Bohr added in energy levels
- 1932 - James Chadwick clarifies the nucleus with neutrons and protons
- Today - quantum mechanical model
...and some totally aren't, but I wish they were...
- 1907 - as far as I and explainxkcd.com can tell, this one's totally made up
- 1928 - nunchuck model - how awesome would that be?
- 2008 - fivethirtyeight.com is a website that looks at the world through a statistical lens, most famously at the US national elections
