Who are the Scientists Behind Groundbreaking Discoveries?

Who are they?

Who are they?

I recognize one of them. Do I get a prize?

I recognize the photos but the question reminds me of recent threads with group photos of STEM teams from previous centuries where one woman appears surrounded by men.

If Astronomy, "Identify Henrietta Swan Leavitt".
If radiation Physics, "Point out Marie Curie".
If history of computing, "Find Ada Lovelace."

There are examples from many other disciplines if the point requires more emphasis.

Max Planck, Niels Bohr
Albert Einstein, Paul Dirac
? - I can't identify anyone in the 3rd row
Erwin Schroedinger, Marie Curie, Wolfgang Pauli

Third row Pauling, Yukawa and ? I think

 

[Klystron]

Third row Pauling, Yukawa and Thompson I think

Possibly, I thought third row third photo was Ernest Rutherford.

This photo is younger and clearer:

Yup you got it, I was just about to post that too. I kept circling around with Thompson, Compton, Eddington... and completely forgot Rutherford.

Yes, I thought Thompson first, which brought me to Rutherford. Certainly both contributed so much.
I also like the old lab gear in the McGill University Rutherford photo.

Max Planck, Niels Bohr
Albert Einstein, Paul Dirac
? - I can't identify anyone in the 3rd row
Erwin Schroedinger, Marie Curie, Wolfgang Pauli

Exactly the same with me.

So we got Planck, Bohr, Einstein, Dirac, Pauling, Rutherford, Schroedinger, Curie and Pauli.

Ok, Thanks everyone
:)

I couldn't sleep, because of this book cover. But now I'm free. So I hope that's the same prize for you.

 

[drx eng]

Planck, Bohr, Einstein, Dirac, Pauling, Yukawa, Rutherford, Schroedinger, Curie and Pauli.

Forgot to put Yukawa.

The question reflects the low state of UG education.
