Father is Scottish, mother is British. But lives in New Zealand. Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics, was born on August 30, 181, into such a family. Growing up in New Zealand. M.Sc. in 1894.

At that time he made an instrument. Which was discovered even earlier by the Bengali scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose. Jagadish Basu did not get the patent right, so he did not get the status of inventor. On the other hand, in the same year, the Italian inventor Marconi was recognized as the inventor of the radio device. So Rutherford’s fate did not depend on the radio discoverer’s badge.

Rutherford dropped out of college. He has also mastered mathematics and physics. But after doing M.Sc. he decided to study medicine. Because neither math nor physics got encouragement from the teachers. So finally want to return to the homeland of Scotland. His friend Stevenson lives there. He persuaded Rutherford not to come to Scotland. Because the situation there is not good. Then Rutherford turned to physics again. He thought of going to study at Cambridge. I want money for this. Rutherford had a reputation for scholarship. He has received scholarships in almost every episode of school-college. So he also applied for a scholarship in England. For this, of course, he had to take the test in London.
