Experiments in the early 20th century could not be explained by classical physics (developed by Galileo, Newton, etc.). Classical physics worked fine on a larger scale. However, on an extremly small scale it was flawed. Scientist started looking at things on an atomic level. This was the beginning of Quantum mechanics. This science was greatly advanced during WWII, when the military use was realized. Hope this helps some

Who developed the first nuclear submarine?

The first operational nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus(SSN-571), was developed by the United States. The idea of a submarine dates far back in history, but the technology required to actually build an operational undersea boat is relatively new. Applying nuclear power to this concept is newer still, and it had to wait until nuclear power could be harnessed in the form of a safe and reliable nuclear reactor.
