Ultraman, Inspector gaban, cybercop - Japan...

tht's all i know... honestly....

whoops, sorry bud, I had no time to look up her ethnicity. "Curie" sounded French so I put French. Note that I put a question mark

Thanks for pointing that out.

Ok, not a problem. Her husband was French that's why she has french surname. Her full name is Maria Curie Sklodowska.

For once I find myself agreeing with Quetzal.

Denmark.

Czechia- Alphonse Mucha

If she was in poland she wouldn't have discovered anything. Her husband did a lot of the research and she studied in France in french institution and she was french since she later acquired the french nationality. Had she lived in Poland she would have barely been literrate. All her and her husbands works were based on Becquerel. As such Curie is to always  be associated with France rather than Poland. She was just Polish in origin but french by education and later by nationality.

That's why Marie Curie = France in any history book so you are the one deforming history.

When someone has both parents Polish and lived in Poland till 24 he is polish no matter what someone is saying. And we don't talk about her husband. Poland wasn't on the maps of Europe and that's why she escaped. She is French only in French historical books or maybe you read all books about Maria Curie. She acquired french citizenship. You can't acquire nationality. Maybe French can suddenly become Turkish. Other people can't. So please stop saying nonsense.

Maria Sk�odowska - Curie was of noble Polish familly . "Do�ega" coat of arms.

Professor Abdus Salam

1926-1996

First Muslim to be awarded the Nobel Prize

Professor Abdus Salam was a Pakistani physicist, after attending Government College at Lahore; he received a Ph.D. from Cambridge (1952). He taught in Lahore for three years before returning to England, first teaching mathematics at Cambridge (1954�57), then moving to Imperial College in London, where he became a professor of theoretical physics. In the early 1960s he developed a theory to explain some behavior of the weak interactions of elementary particles.

For this work, in 1979 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow. To support Third World scientists and scientific research, Salam founded what is now the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics in 1964 and the Third World Academy of Sciences in 1983 (both in Trieste, Italy). He headed the International Center until his death.

During the early 1970s Salam played a very significant role in starting Pakistan's Atomic Energy Commission and Suparco - country's space agency.

Prof. Salam was a firm believer that "scientific thought is the common heritage of mankind", and that developing nations needed to help themselves and invest into their own scientists to boost development and fill the gap between the rich North and the poor South of the planet, thus contributing to a more peaceful world.

Salam died in Oxford in 1996, after a long illness. He was buried in Rabwah, Pakistan (without any official protocol) where he was born.

Yea did he make his dsicovery in Poland? Of Course not, he went to Italy.
