I personally think that the discovery of the atom was an important discovery for the world. With this discovery, we are now able to answer questions we never thought we would ask. We also answer questions that some people asked a long time ago. We can now use our vast knowledge of the atom to measure stars and be able to tell you what stars are made of. Atomic discovery also helped us find our periodic table of elements. The periodic table of elements is a huge scientific table that shows important facts with the help of its formation. A lot of scientific research has been carried out continuously to establish the periodic table of elements and what it is today. The idea of ​​the atom dates back to ancient Greece. The sad thing is that the idea of ​​one philosopher was rejected by the rest of the philosophers of the time. Philosophers like Aristotle. The ancient Greeks did not have all the modern technology we have today and were not equipped to test their atomic theory. The theory they came up with was that if you continued to divide something, the smallest living thing must be an atom. The next big step in the discovery of the atom was the scientific test that proved the existence of the atom. After the discovery of the atom, we discovered subatomic particles. With the discovery of subatomic particles came research, resulting from experiments carried out to learn more about subatomic particles. It was through this research that we discovered that most of an atom's weight comes from its nucleus. With the gold leaf experiment, tested by Ernest Rutherford, he discovered the existence of the positively charged nucleus. He proved it during the experiment, a small fraction of the photons in the middle of the paper believes that there really exists a particle of the Higgs boson. I know they haven't found it yet, but there is plenty of evidence proving that there is a Higgs boson particle. As a scientific community, we didn't use the right experiments to find the particle. There are many things that, when put together, prove the absence of the Higgs boson. I think that's enough proof that the particle is there, we just need to find it.
