Fancy Pooh has spoken! Why call it "Rutherford scattering experiments" when we could just say what it really is - "smash or pass" at the atomic level? Ernest Rutherford literally fired alpha particles at gold foil to see which ones smashed into something and which ones passed through. Turns out atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny nucleus playing hard to get. Physics was just Tinder for particles before Tinder existed.
