Well you have the guy who found uranium, the guy who ran electricity through a vacuum, the guy who found pitchblende, and then Marie Curie who did the experiments with refined pitchblende to create X-ray machines.
If you want to talk specifically about nuclear energy and weapons then you’re probably looking for Rutherford. But he wouldn’t even be conducting those experiments without Curie, Röntgen, and Becquerel.
Are they though? X-rays are emitted by electrons, not nuclei. They’re like, nuclear technology-adjacent. But if you had to pick just one moment in time, that moment is not x-ray technology
Of course not. That would require him acknowledging women in science. That would be Marie Curie.
Maybe he is insinuating that women are demons
He nay be insinuating that jews are demons. Many of the most famous early nuclear scientists were jewish.
That would be on point for him.
I’m not defending Tucker here but no it was not Marie Curie.

Either Rutherford or Fermi are who you’d probably credit for that given moment.
The thing is X-rays are absolutely nuclear science too.

Okay. You do you.
