Famous Kiwis

Name: Ernest Rutherford AKA my favorite famous Kiwi
Date of birth: 30 August 1871
Place of birth: Brightwater, New Zealand

Claim to fame: Once upon a time, a guy named J.J. Thompson proposed that the atom looked like "plum pudding"- basically a big orb of positive charge filled with little negative "plums". Then, a guy named Ernest Rutherford came along and shot a bunch of alpha particles at some really thin gold foil. When he realized that a very small quantity of the particles got bounced back, rather than passing through the foil, the world was introduced to the nucleus. Pretty cool, huh?
