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.
As a result, atoms are usually stable so long as the number of protons and neutrons is not too uneven. If this balance isn't right, atoms can split apart through radioactive decay or nuclear fission. If an atom gets too heavy with neutrons, extra neutrons simply won't stick at all â not even for an instant.
