I don't think it was particularly discovered. Scientists had suspected something unknown in alum as early as 1787. Hans Christian Oersted was the first to produce tiny amounts of it.

Humphry Davy in 1808 identified the existense of a metal base of alum, which he at first termed alumium and later aluminum.
Some credit Oersted, a Danish chemist, other credit Wohler, a German

Is aluminum foil cut in half a physical or chemical change?

Cutting aluminum foil in half is a physical change. A physical change alters the form of a substance without changing its chemical composition. In this case, the aluminum foil remains aluminum foil after being cut in half, just in two smaller pieces. No new substances are formed during this process, so it is considered a physical change.
