Who discovered radioactivity and when?

Well the triad discovered it/created it back at the dawn of all things.

Then humans began questioning things and for them Radioactivity was discovered first by Frenchman A. H. Becquerel in 1896.
It was confirmed 2 years later by Marie Curie and her husband.
Then in 1903 Soddy discovered the Radioactive decay potential of an element.

Which one did you want?

I think you've got that one well and truly covered.
I was thinking of Marie Curie to be honest but I am very interested in the other people so I am going to look them up and see what else I can find out.
Thank you .

OK Wow, I'm impressed, but ..................... Neither of you two potential geniuses remembered to ask a question!

So I will.

What is the name of Bruce Willis's character in the Die Hard movies?

Hey, I'm a genius too.

I know that Becquerel was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for this discovery. A prize which he was later instructed to share with Pierre and Marie Curie! Becquerel was given half the prize, whilst the Curies shared the other half between them, obviously gaining a quarter each.
A little bizarre that, isn't it?

The Die Hard charater is called John McClane. His wife is called Hoolllleeeeeee!

Who was drowned in Lethal Weapon 2. (I'm looking for the name of the actor/actress, NOT the character).

I'm impressed Darke that's not general knowledge.

It was Patsy Kensit ...it's one of those bits of movies that bothers me ....yeuch

Incidentally Soddy is the only one of the radiation discoverers (besides the triad) that doesn't have a measurement named after them.
RAD stands for Radiation Absorbed Dose but each rad is measured in Curies and Becquerels.
