In 1908, Svante Arrhenius proposed Planck and Rutherford for the Nobel
Prize in Physics (Planck) and Chemistry (Rutherford) for:
Planck: Calculation of the charge of the electron from his radiation
law.
Rutherford: Calculation of the charge of the alpha particle from
experiments.
Because the works of Planck and Rutherford were still in debate by that
year, the proposal was dismissed.
Planck's work precedes Millikan and others, and was entirely
theoretical.
Yet, his calculations were close to actual values:
Charge 1e (Planck 1900) = 4.69E-10 esu OR g^1/2 cm^3/2 s^-1
Charge 1e (Millikan 1913) = 4.774E-10 esu OR g^1/2 cm^3/2 s^-1
Today: Charge 1e (StatC) = 4.80325451E-10 esu OR g^1/2 cm^3/2 s^-1
Jan, read this and don't be so ignorant. Many scientists were trying to
find the charge of electrons since 1897, but historians CANCELED THEM
(also due to political struggles, which are getting worse 120 years
after).
