5. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.

6. Select only a date who would make a good mate.

7. See what you can do for others; not what they can do for you.

9. Don't fill up on this world's crumbs; feed your soul on the Living Bread.

10. Give your all to Christ; He gave His all for you. 500 BC Alchemists - searched for the Philosopher's Stone, which had the ability to transform base materials like copper or lead, into valuable substances, like gold. They also searched for the Elixir of Life, which when drunk by a particular person, would grant him immortality. 450 BC Democritus,Greece - stated that all matter is made up of atoms. He also stated that atoms are eternal and invisible and so small that they cant be divided, and they entirely fill up the space theyre in. The Solid, Indivisible Sphere

400 BC

Aristotle, Greece - provided the method of gathering scientific facts, which proved as the basis for all scientific work.

350 BC skip to 1700's 1750 AD

Lavoisier (1777),France - provided the formula for the conservation of matter in chemical reactions, and also distinguished between an element and a compound.

Couloumb (1780's), France formulated the Coulomb's law, which states that that the force between two electrical charges is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, one of the main forces involved in atomic reactions. 1800 AD John Dalton (1803), England formed the atomic theory, which states that all matter is composed of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms that are all alike and have the same atomic weight. 1850 AD Crookes (1870),England - created the Crookes tube and demonstrated that cathode rays travel in straight lines and produce phosphorescence and heat when they strike certain materials.

W.K. Roentgen (1895), Germany discovered x-rays while experimenting with cathode-ray tubes.

Becquerel (1896),France - discovered radioactivity when he investigated uranium and other radioactive substances.

The Curies (1898), France discovered radium and polonium when they started to investigate radioactive substances

J.J Thomson (1898), England discovered the electron and developed the plum-pudding model of the atom. 1900 AD Max Planck (1900), Germany originated the quantum theory Albert Einstein (1905), Germany -postulated that light was made up of different particles that, in addition to wavelike behavior, demonstrate certain properties unique to particles. He also brought forth the theory of relativity.

Robert Millikan (1908), USA -found out the electric charge of the electron

Ernest Rutherford (1909), England -used the results of his gold-foil experiment to state that all the mass of an atom were in a small positively-charged ball at the center of the atom. Neils Bohr (1913),Denmark - stated that the electrons moved around the nucleus in successively large orbits. He also presented the Bohr atomic model which stated that atoms absorb or emit radiation only when the electrons abruptly jump between allowed, or stationary, states.

Geiger (1925),Germany -introduced the first detector of alpha particles and other radiations.

Erwin Shroedinger (1926), Austria -introduced the Shroedinger Equation, a wave equation that describes the form of the probability waves that govern the motion of small particles and how these waves are altered by external influences.

Chadwick (1931),England -discovered the neutrally-charged neutron.

Otto Hahn (1938),Germany discovered nuclear fission, in which the nucleus of an atom breaks up into two separate nuclei, while experimenting with uranium. 1950 AD Glen T. Seaborg (1951), USA -isolated and identified elements heavier than uranium, and in the process, added elements number 94 - 102, and 106.

Lise Meitner (1938), Vienna worked with Otto Hahn to discover uranium fission.

Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig (1964), USA - brought forth the idea of "quarks", little bits of matter which when used kind of like building blocks, serve to explain some complex chemical substances. 2000 AD
