His contribution to Radioactivity came from an experiment he demonstrated by firing alpha particles into gas atoms where few particles were seen to deflect. This implied a dense, positively changed central region of an atom contained an atomic mass (Dardo, 2004). Figure 1. Top: expected results, alpha particles passing ...

Secular states are based on the need to separate the state from religion. Secular states are neutral and do not support any religion.
