Hurrah, 8 right (though 3 were guesses)!

And the only physics (with a 'ph') I've ever done is as a sideline to quantum chemistry.

Beginner's luck, eh?

4 right, the 5 I knew thankfully! My guessing head is obviously faulty today. Yeah, that'll be it.

6 right - I got Bohr and Rutherford the wrong way round. Knew most of the others though

wheres vanize?




sorry was working... on physics stuff BTW

got 8 out of eight - but only cause I knew oppenheimer didn't look anything like the remaining one which must have been rutherford. Bad picture of Madam Curie too.

Just notice maxwell looks like my brother in law....

Yay... I only mixed up Rutherford and Bohr... hrmm... actually those are the only two that I teach. I should probably know those two.

It's easier if you know the physics that they did and link the obvious time of the photos. Unfortunately for me, Rutherford and Bohr were about the same time.

Geeks!

oh come on - Rutherford is such and English name, and the picture of him there looks SO very English! (nevermind that he was born in new zealand and all - his mom was english and dad scottish and he lived in england eventually).

that was the logic I used anyway...

I only got three but then I was never very good at physics. I got an A* on a project on Rutherford when I was 7 though.
