I hope it wasn't a witch scientist, whoever it was

Hopefully those days are long gone when scientists were branded as witches . . . not that I have anything against witches, you understand. :o/

Quite a few scientists performed said experiments. Cathode rays (now recognised as electrons) were all the rage back in the late 1800s/ early 1900s.

Hi gingertart- if it's a youtube clip you need to put it in the Enter Youtube Link Here box.
But I think funfor was telling us the answer (Dalton), maybe to a crossword clue, rather than asking a question
