I'm sorry. I looked it up. I'm thinking of Ernest Rutherford and his experiment with Alpha particles.

I thought Madam Curie proved atoms had a hard, positively charged nucleus. I suppose Bohr just said that electrons orbited this nucleus, but still, I thought they still knew about atoms and electrons before that. Unless was Curie's famous experiment after Einstein's paper and Bohr's model?

Oh, but he did have a problem in French (but he always excelled in math and physics).

Sorry, a correction: Einstein never struggled at school, that is a myth. The confusion comes from the method of his school in collecting grades. Instead of a 10 being a maximum and a 0 the minimum It was the contrary, a 0 the maximum and a 10 a minimum. And the story of him repeating an year came from the fact that his school changed this system to a more "normal" one, making a 0 a low note and a 10 a high one. He always achieve zeros (when It was a high grade) and his notes came to be tens wen the system changed. I used to believe that too.
