Albert Einstein's Impact On The Development Of The Atomic Theory

There have been a vast majority of people to have changed the world of physics to the world of physics we know and understand today. The people I am choosing to explain are Albert Einstein, Otto Frisch, Arthur Compton, Enrico Fermi, Lise Meitner, Ernst Marsden, and Hans Geiger. All of these physicists impacted the development of the atomic theory one way or another.

Albert Einstein was a German physicist who moved to America to share his knowledge about the atomic theory. In 1905, he wrote a famous paper that concerned tiny particles and how they moved in a liquid or gas. Einstein took Brownian motion(Browns law) and confirmed the atomic theory of matter by the use of Brownian motion. This was some of the first proof that atoms actually exist which is why most people say that Einstein made the discovery of the atom. This discovery paved the way for many sciences through probability and statistics. It also paved the way for the nuclear bomb, which Einstein became an advocate in its disarmament. For his discoveries he received a Nobel Prize in 1921. To move forwards, Otto Frisch was also a German physicist who had a love for physics, which he acquired from his aunt. With this interest in mind, after some years of working in various labs,
In other words, they helped to revolutionize the atomic theory. For example, the knowledge of nuclear fission(discovered by the physicist Lise Meitner) in needed for many jobs today like at a power plant. Also in her time, this opened the idea of splitting the atom to many people around the world because she had written it down. Another example of the knowledge that we have obtained from the many physicists is the knowledge of the atom(discovered by Albert Einstein) that is used almost everyday in a variety of different jobs like being a nuclear physicists. For their time specifically, this discovery enabled people to learn more about
