Another remarkable figure in the scientific community was Ernest Rutherford, a Nobel prize-winning atomic physicist. His revolutionary experiments led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and laid the foundation for our understanding of atomic structure. Albert Einstein, known as one of history's greatest minds, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. His theories on relativity transformed our understanding of space, time, and energy.
