Rutherford's Den
Einstein described Ernest Rutherford as a "second Newton" who "tunneled into the very material of God". This was a tribute to Rutherford's foundational discoveries about the atom's structure, particularly his model of a dense, central nucleus, which is considered one of the most significant and practical insights in the history of physics.
Here we'll see the actual den in which Rutherford conducted his first experiments that was the beginning of nuclear science.
