Trump claims US 'split the atom', New Zealand says that's not true
- A small town mayor in New Zealand has responded decisively to Donald Trump , after the freshly sworn-in US president heaped praise on American scientists for splitting the atom.
The mayor of Nelson in New Zealand's South Island seized on the subatomic slight, pointing out that work to split the atom was actually pioneered by Kiwi-born physicist Ernest Rutherford. Credited with splitting the nucleus of an atom during experiments at the UK's Manchester University in 1917, Rutherford was "the first to artificially induce a nuclear reaction by bombarding nitrogen nuclei with alpha particles," Smith said.
Ben Uffindell, editor of a satirical New Zealand news website called The Civilian, also took issue with Mr. Trump's claim.
