		George Johnstone Stoney (February 15, 1826 – July 5, 1911) was an Irish physicist famous for introducing the term electron in 1874.
		Stoney's most important scientific work was the conception and calculation of the magnitude of the atom or particle of electricity, for which he coined the term "electron".
		Stoney was the uncle of the physicist George FitzGerald, and distantly related to Alan Turing.

		George Francis Fitzgerald was a brilliant 19th century Irish physicist who is best remembered today as one of the proposers of a theory on the relativity of space with speed, now known as the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction.
		George’s early education, together with his brothers and sisters, was undertakes at home, where they were tutored by M.A. Boole, a sister of George Boole, Professor of Mathematics at University College Cork and widely acknowledged as ‘The Father of Computer Science’.
		George entered Trinity College Dublin (TCD) at the age of 16 to study mathematics and experimental science and he graduated in 1871 at the top of his class.

		Stoney's name of " Electron " is now universally used, but the remarkable fact of their existence is often assumed to have been first shown by Von Helmholtz, who gave practically the same explanation of the electrolytic laws some years afterward in his Faraday Lecture of 1881.

	FitzGerald biography
		George FitzGerald was a brilliant mathematical physicist who today is known by most scientists as one of the proposers of the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction in the theory of relativity.
		George's schooling was at home where, together with his brothers and sisters, he was tutored by M A Boole, who was George Boole's sister.
		It is doubtful whether Miss Boole realised what enormous potential her pupil George had, for although he showed himself to be an excellent student of arithmetic and algebra, he was no better than an average pupil at languages and had rather a poor verbal memory.

		George Johnstone STONEY 1826-1911, was Professor of Natural Philosophy at Queens College, Galway from 1852 to 1857, and Secretary to the Queen's University in Ireland 1857-1882(14).
		Johnstone Stoney was secratary to the Queen's University of Ireland, the forerunner of the National University of Ireland, and much of his career was devoted to the administration of the university; nevertheless he was undertaking pioneering researches in molecular physics.
		Stoney's calculation was limited by inaccurate experimental data; it is remarkable that the value obtained was as close as it was....he was well aware of the inaccuracy of his 'guesstimation'.

	Stoney, (George) Johnstone (1826-1911)
		Irish physicist who coined the name "electron," did important work on the nature of the Sun, and applied the kinetic theory of gases to the analysis of planetary atmospheres, which had important implications for the habitability of other worlds.
		Using the kinetic theory, which treats gases as collections of randomly moving particles, Stoney was able to draw conclusions about which gases would tend to escape from the atmosphere of a given planet or satellite.
		It was not until 1898 that these results were published, together with other conclusions about the remaining objects in the solar system, including that Jupiter can retain all known gases (see gas giant), whereas most moons and all asteroids are devoid of an atmosphere.
