"Epistemology, or, "theory of knowledge", is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature, methods, limitations and validity of knowledge and belief. (Wilkipedia Epistemology) According to Plato, and, represented by a figure of subsets, knowledge is the subset of what is both true and believed. Epistemology was the basis for "debates" between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr on quantum physics and many more topics. Actually close friends, Einstein and Bohr discussed not only quantum physics, but many more topics, taking the form of an Einstein challenge and a Bohr response; discussions rather than debates which yielded a lot of information. (Wilkipedia Bohr-Einstein debates) Niels Henrik David Bohr, (October 7, 1885-November 18, 1962), "...a Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum physics..." (Wilkipedia Niels Bohr) Bohr basically was considered the father of atomic structure. (Hart Page 512) Bohr sharpened his thinking studying with J.J. Thompson who discovered the electron. Further He studied with Ernest Rutherford who discovered the atomic nucleus. Bohr developed his own theory which was published in 1913 as an epoch-making work "On the Constitution of Atoms and Molecules". (Hart page 512) Bohr described an atom as a miniature solar system with electrons revolving around the heavy nucleus. (Hart page 513) Bohr's work did a lot of explaining regarding the structure of the atom, including the explanation as to why it was limited in size; and, the fact that light did not include all colors. Additionally, Bohr predicted the existence of additional spectral lines and, ultimately won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.
Nils Bohr designed an atomic model but eventually someone came up with an even more accurate model. He achieved the Nobel prize for physics.
Jj Thompson in 1904.................. Actually it was Ernest Rutherford who Disproved it in 1911. JJ thompson was the creator of the plum pudding theory
Chemistry. It does more with chemicals and medicine/health solutions than physics. Physics is more math with things that move.
This is the Rutherford experiment: discovery of the atomic nucleus.
first the positive and negative charges are separated on the models and technically speaking, niels bohrs is more advanced and more accurate. Bohr's atomic model was based on quantisation of energy and angular momentum of the electron whereas Rutherford does not give an idea of permitted orbits.

I suppose that physics is more important.
Rutherford's experiment was important because it showed that an atom is mostly empty space. Rutherford gave more detail of the atom's structure.
Argon has 18 electrons. Draw a circle in the middle with the chemical symbol of argon in it (Ar). Draw three more circles around the middle one. On the first circle draw 2 dots to represent electrons. On the 2nd circle, draw 8 electrons. And finally, on the last circle, draw another 8 electrons. That is the bohr-rutherford diagram of argon.

Many, Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Max Born, Albert Einstein, Nils Bohr, Werner Heisnberg are some of the more well known

Without physics, cars, TV's, and electric lights would not have been invented, we would not know about space and astronomy, we would never know about forces and atoms. Physics is about all that and more, which is why it is important. Without physics, we would not have computers or the internet.

Hans Bethe was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1967. To read more about this scientist, and to see a photograph of him, see Answers.com via the Related Link.
There were two major discoveries that caused the Rutherford model to be replaced. First, Niels Bohr and others discovered that the nucleus was not just a solid glob of stuff. It is made up of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, etc.) The second change is that Rutherford thought electrons follow a set path around the nucleus, sort of like the planets around the Sun. Bohr found that the electrons move more in a general area, rather than a set path,
