“Someday they will know what I mean.”– Tom Thomson There are a lot of different arguments about how the great painter Tom Thomson died.

In Thomson’s "Plum Pudding Model" each atom was a sphere filled with a positively charged fluid. The fluid was called the "pudding." Scattered in this fluid were electrons known as the "plums." The radius of the model was 10-10 meters. Thomson suggested that the positive fluid held the negative charges‚ the electrons‚ in the atom because of electrical

She does this by using different thought experiments that align with different situations in which women can get pregnant.

I believe that even though inconvenient
