APPENDIX 1 A CHRONOLOGY OF THE ATOMIC VIEW OF NATURE c. THALES of Miletus (Greece, c. 640-546 B.C.) recorded the attractive properties of B.C. rubbed amber and of lodestone. c. LEUCIPPUS (Greece) proposed an atomic concept of matter. B.C. c. DEMOCRITUS of Abdera (Greece, c. 460-357 B.C.), pupil of Leucippus, was the most B.C. famous of the atomists in ancient times. He taught: "The only existing things are the atoms and empty space; all else is mere opinion. c. ARISTOTLE (Greece, 384-322 B.C.) held that all matter was basically com posed of the B.C. same continuous primordial stuff. c. EPICURUS of Samos (Greece, c. 342-270 B.C.) founded a philosophical system based on B.C. the atomism of Democritus. c. ZENO of Cition (Greece, c. 336-264 B.C.) founded the Stoic school of philosophy which B.C. held that matter, space, etc. were continuous. c. TITUS LUCRETIUS CARUS (Rome, c. 96-55 B.C.) attempted to formulate a rational B.C. explanation of natural phenomena by extending the beliefs of Democritus and Epicurus. His poem, De Rerum Natura, is the most complete record of Greek atomism extant.

80. The Architect Of India's Nuclear Programme his tribute paid to Bhabha lord RedcliffeMaud high speed protons and patrick MaynardStuart blackett (1897-1974 1963), the US physicist and nobel Prize winner http://www.vigyanprasar.com/dream/jan2000/article1.htm

The Architect of India's Nuclear Programme HOMI JEHANGIR BHABHA By Subodh Mahanti " I know quite clearly what I want out of my life. Life and my emotions are the only things I am conscious of. I love the consciousness of life and I want as much of it as I can get. But the span of one's life is limited. What comes after death no one knows. Nor do I care. Since, therefore, I cannot increase the content of life by increasing its duration, I will increase it by increasing its intensity. Art, music, poetry and everything else that consciousness I do have this one purpose - increasing the intensity of my consciousness of life." H.J. Bhabha Homi Jehangir Bhabha was born on 30 October 1909 in a wealthy Parsi family of Bombay (recently renamed as Mumbai). Bhabha's family had a long tradition of learning and service in the field of education. His grandfather, also named as Homi Jehangir Bhabha, was the Inspector General of Education in the State of Mysore. Bhabha's father Jehangir Hormusji Bhabha was educated at Oxford and later qualified as a lawyer. His mother Meheren was grand-daughter of Sir Dinshaw Maneckji Petit, widely respected in Bombay for his philanthropic endowments. Hormusji's sister that is Bhabha's paternal aunt Meherbai married Sir Dorab J. Tata (1859-1932) the eldest son of Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata (1839-1904). At Cambridge Bhabha's work centered around cosmic rays. It may be noted here that the existence of penetrating radiations coming from outer space was detected towards the close of the 19th century by Charles Thomson Rees Wilson (1869-1959) in simple experiments on electroscopes. Robert Andrews Millikan (1868-1963), the US physicist and Nobel Prize winner, gave the name of cosmic rays to these radiations consisting of highly energetic charged particles. The radiations reaching the top of the atmosphere from outer space are referred, to as primary cosmic rays. They consist of various types of nuclei but prominently of protons. Primary cosmic rays produced secondaries by interaction with the atmosphere.
