James Chadwick
born in England in 1891. He studied at the Univ of Manchester and Cambridge. Chadwick is best know for his discovery of the Neutron. He named it the neutron because it lacked a charge. Chadwick was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for physics in 1935 and was also awarded the Hughes Model of the Royal Society in 1932. His discovery made it possible to create with a greater mass than uranium in the laboratory. Because of Chadwick's discovery, "nuclear fission" was discovered.
Hugh Everett III
was an American physicist who first proposed the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics, which he termed his "relative state" formulation.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, born on April 22, 1904,
was the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons. He strongly opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, however, and in 1953 was suspended from secret nuclear research as an alleged communist sympathizer, a case backed by Edward Teller. In 1963 he was reinstated and awarded the Enrico Fermi Award.
Julius Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904 – February 18, 1967)
was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Along with Enrico Fermi, he is often called the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons.
