Geologic Time,Scottish geologist James Hutton realized that the Earth was very much older; there was literally an abyss of time.

Exploring The Electromagnetic Spectrum,when burned, chemicals often gave off light at very specific wavelengths. It became possible to determine the elements present in a compound by examination of the spectrum. The element helium was discovered in the spectrum of the Sun’s corona during an eclipse 30 years before it was discovered trapp

,What’s at the Bottom of Alice’s Rabbit Hole,he shorter wavelengths and vice versa. Max Planck found a solution by assuming the energy is not continuous but comes in discrete particles, known as quanta. This explained the photoelectric effect. Niels Bohr produced a new model for the structure of the atom using quantum physics. This had major i
