    This lecture discusses the history of particle physics discoveries that led to the current understanding of subatomic particles. It covers findings such as the discovery of electrons as atomic constituents, Rutherford's experiment revealing the positive nucleus, and the need for neutrons to explain nitrogen's hyperfine structure. The lecture also outlines the day's plan to further discuss neutrons, ionization, and missing energy, as well as cover Chapter 1 and review the growing number of discovered subatomic particles like mesons and leptons.
