Following Henri Becquerel’s discovery in 1896 of a new phenomenon, which Marie later called ‘radioactivity’, Marie Curie decided to find out if the radioactivity discovered in uranium was to be found in other elements. She discovered that this was true for thorium.
When uranium was discovered to be radioactive, Marie Curie found that the element called (a) had the same property.
Turning her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose radioactivity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem, and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium.
Marie and Pierre Curie’s research into the radioactivity of the mineral known as (a) led to the discovery of two new elements.
World-renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking believes that once spaceships can exceed the speed of light, humans could feasibly travel millions of years into the future in order to repopulate earth in the event of a forthcoming apocalypse. This is because as the spaceships accelerate into the future, time would slow down around them (Hawking concedes that bygone eras are off limits - this would violate the fundamental rule that cause comes before effect).
(Paraphrasing)
Human time travel is theoretically possible, but is unlikely to ever actually occur.
Human time travel might be possible, but only moving backward in time.
Human time travel might be possible, but only moving forward in time.

His enrolment in the prestigious Julliard School of Music was short-lived, [but] Davis did later acknowledge that this time at the school was invaluable in terms of developing his trumpet-playing technique and giving him a solid grounding in music theory.
