Season(s) Ty Panitz (born April 8, 1999) is an American child actor. He debuted as Ethan Beardsley in the movie Yours, Mine and Ours (2005). His other roles include Woody Forrester in How to Eat Fried Worms.
He is widely credited with first splitting the atom in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen and alpha particles, in which he also discovered (and named) the proton. Rutherford became Director of the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in 1919.
Many scientists of the day scorned the idea as alchemy. They stuck with the age-old belief that the atom is indivisible and unchangeable. But by 1904 Rutherford's publications and achievements gained recognition. He was an extremely energetic researcher: in the span of seven years, he published 80 papers.
