Through his famous 1911 gold-foil experiment‚ Earnest Rutherford‚ a former student of Thomson‚ evolved the atomic model once again. Rutherford and his colleagues fired alpha particles‚ helium atoms that had lost their two electrons‚ at a thin piece of gold foil (only 0.00004 cm in width). They used a screen coated in zinc sulfide to "catch" the alpha particles after they had penetrated the gold foil. The screen would also emit a flash of light where it was hit by an alpha particle‚ which enabled

“Nothing Gold Can Stay” is a short poem written by Robert Frost that expresses how nothing good can last forever. Frost explains this through a use of imagery.

In Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay‚” the speaker proclaims that fame and the things we value last only “an hour” (4). Having lost his wife and children which for him were like gold‚ Frost comes to the sobering recognition that “Nothing gold can stay” (8). Frost feels plagued by solitude but struggles with distancing himself.

That is‚ with the exception of Video Phone by Beyoncé; her video had a slightly different portrayal of femininity. In the Prodigy song‚ the only lyrics in the entire song are as
