History of Electron

-
Hi everybody!

                The entire modern science is hanging around the electricity. The back bone of all recent trends and advancement of science, is the discovery of constituent particles of atom. One among them is ELECTRON.

George Johnstone Stoney is the first person who introduced the name ELECTRON for negatively charged subatomic particle in the year 1891.


           It was a big challenge to many Scientists to understand the electricity. When electricity was invented, no one knew about electron. It was mystery over few decades. (ref.,http://www.kidsnewsroom.org/elmer/infocentral/frameset/inventors/franklin/index.html) 
          On April 30, 1897 Physicist John Joseph Thomson and his team identified the subatomic particle ELECTRON by a cathode rays investigations. First He named the stream of subatomic particles as corpuscle in Latin, meaning small bodies, which constitute the cathode rays. He also figured out the mass of that particle is 1/1836 of mass of hydrogen atom. Later, through several experiments, the properties and characters of the subatomic particle had been studies and recognized as electron.

A Journey of Faith, Prayer, and Miracles

A Journey of Faith, Prayer, and Miracles It was a quiet morning on December 19, 2024, when the phone rang, breaking the stillness. My in-laws from Pondicherry were on the line, their voices fraught with worry. My father-in-law (Mr Mariasoosai) had fainted, fallen, and was now struggling with blurred vision and dizziness. They rushed him to an eye hospital, where doctors treated his vision issues. For a moment, I hoped it was just a minor health scare. But by midday, things took a concerning turn. He began to feel numbness in his left hand and leg, and walking became a struggle. Alarmed, my sister-in-law took him to another hospital, where the doctors delivered a diagnosis that no one wanted to hear: he had suffered a brain stroke. For five tense days, he remained in the ICU. By the grace of God, he stabilized enough to be discharged with a follow-up planned in three weeks. But just as we were beginning to breathe easier, the phone rang again on the morning of December 31. His symptoms ...
