Hantaro+Nagaoka

==Hantaro Nagaoka was a Japanese physicist during the Meiji Period. He was born in Nagasaki, Japan on August 15, 1865. He died on December 11, 1950. He earned a degree from Tokyo University. After graduating, he went and studied under British physicist Cargill Gilston Knott. Nagaoka was the first to use a Saturnian Atomic Model. What this means is that he drew the atom with rings like Saturn has for the electrons to orbit the atom. Nagaoka had two hypotheses. One was that every atom had a large nucleus, and the other being that the electrons revolved or orbited that nucleus. Some physicists thought that the way nagaoka had drawn his theory, the electrons would lose energy causing them to collide with the nucleus. That is why a lot of physicists did not support his claims. However, Ernest Rutherford later would prove both of his hypotheses to be true.==
