[QUOTE="Wiccan_Child, post: 55775021, member: 104966"] I'd ask by whom, but individual names aren't that helpful. True, but, both atomic theory and evolution were accepted by 1910, and the former had a 100 year head start on the latter. As I said, atomic theory had been demonstrated [I]before[/I] Einstein's time. Richard Lambing was postulating on the structure of the atom in the 1830s, and the flow of [I]subatomic particles[/I] was the prevalent theory of electricity in the 1870s. Hittorf was well aware of atoms and molecules when he conducted his experiments into electricity - in 1879, he was explaining the curvature of electron beams by way of [I]negatively-charged molecules[/I]. If atomic theory was widly contested in the early 1900s, what were all these physicists doing experimenting on things that, according to you, were unproven to even exist? No, atoms were a fact of science from the early 1800s; the experiments conducted in the 1800s demonstrate this, as does the terminology used by scientists as early as the turn of the century (the 19[sup]th[/sup] century, that is). They knew atoms exist, just as we know they exist today. [/QUOTE]
