Time is never enough, and age is not a limit.

Henry G. J. Moseley was an English physicist. Moseley’s contribution to the science of physics was the justification for the physical laws of the atomic number’s previous empirical and chemical concepts. This stemmed from his development of Moseley’s law in X-ray spectra. In 1913, he used self-built equipment to prove that every elementโs identity is uniquely determined by the number of protons it has. When World War I broke out in Western Europe, Moseley volunteered for the Royal Engineers of the British Army, leaving his research work at the University of Oxford. Eventually, he was killed during the Battle of Gallipoli on 10 August 1915. Scientists and experts believe that if Moseley had not been killed, he had the chance of winning the Nobel Prize for his contributions to Physics in 1916.
