In 1911, a physicist named Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment that changed our understanding of matter forever.

This video will take you through Rutherford's famous alpha scattering experiment, which led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.

We'll explain how Rutherford and his team made their groundbreaking discovery and what it means for us today. You'll learn why atoms, the building blocks of everything around us, are mostly empty space. We'll also discuss why this discovery was so shocking and why it's not often discussed in textbooks.

Whether you're studying for a science test, a teacher looking for classroom resources, or just curious about the world, this video is for you. So, if you've ever wondered about the nature of matter, or why atoms don't collapse into themselves, join us on this journey into the heart of the atom.
