Which scientist first made a model of the atom called the plum pudding model?

J.J. Thomson, a British physicist, first proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904. This model described the atom as a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it, similar to the seeds in a plum pudding.

Who was the first scientist to describe how the force of gravity behaved?

Aristotle did the first recorded speculations on the nature of gravity. Speculations by various philosophers continued for centuries. By 1544, experimenters had shown that Aristotles speculations were false. Galileo Galilei did the first mathematical description of gravity at the Earth's surface. Isaac Newton showed that the same force (gravity) that caused objects to fall to the Earth also caused the planets to go around our Sun. Albert Einstein showed that gravity was not EXACTLY a force between two masses (although that is a useful approximation) but a warping of space by each mass.
