In 1926, the British physicist Ralph H. Fowler observed that the relationship among the density, energy and temperature of white dwarfs could be explained by viewing them as a gas of nonrelativistic, non-interacting electrons and nuclei which obeyed Fermi-Dirac statistics.

This Fermi gas model was then used by the British physicist E. C. Stoner in 1929 to calculate the relationship among the mass, radius, and density of white dwarfs, assuming them to be homogenous spheres.

In 1897 British physicist J. J. Thomson showed the rays were composed of a previously unknown negatively charged particle, which was later named the electron.

* 1818 – James Prescott Joule, British physicist ( d. 1889 )

In 1910 British physicist William Henry Bragg demonstrated that gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, not particles, and in 1914 Rutherford and Edward Andrade measured their wavelengths, and found that they were similar to X-rays but with shorter wavelengths and higher frequency.

These samples were identified as helium by Lockyer and British physicist William Crookes.

Its existence was predicted in 1902 independently and almost simultaneously by the American electrical engineer Arthur Edwin Kennelly ( 1861 – 1939 ) and the British physicist Oliver Heaviside ( 1850 – 1925 ).

Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs ( 29 December 1911 – 28 January 1988 ) was a German-British theoretical physicist and atomic spy who in 1950 was convicted of supplying information from the American, British and Canadian atomic bomb research ( the Manhattan Project ) to the USSR during and shortly after World War II.

* 1929 – Peter Higgs, British theoretical physicist

and followed in 1937-1940 by a similar multi-cavity magnetron built by the British physicist, Sir John Turton Randall, FRSE together with a team of British coworkers for the British and American military radar installations in WWII.

* 1933 – Peter Mansfield, British physicist, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate

The photochemical mechanisms that give rise to the ozone layer were discovered by the British physicist Sidney Chapman in 1930.

Indeed, Stevens's definition of measurement was put forward in response to the British Ferguson Committee, whose chair, A. Ferguson, was a physicist.

Rayleigh scattering, named after the British physicist Lord Rayleigh, is the elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the light.

During the War of 1812, Oliver Hazard Perry captured an entire British fleet in 1813 near Put-in-Bay, Ohio, despite having inferior numbers.

* May 18 – Oliver Heaviside, British engineer ( d. 1925 )

Similar work was carried out independently, and at around the same time, by the British mathematical physicist and engineer Oliver Heaviside.

For example, British politician Oliver Letwin has been called " the Gandalf of the process " of policy formation for the Conservative Party under David Cameron.

Tree also fathered several illegitimate children, including six with ( Beatrice ) May Pinney and other mistresses, including film director Carol Reed and Peter Reed, the father of the British actor Oliver Reed.

Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell called for a general fast in England and proposed to send the British Navy if the massacre was not stopped while gathering funds for helping the Waldensians.

1947 saw two subsequently-outstanding films in production, Oliver Twist, directed by David Lean and Powell and Pressburger's Oscar-winning The Red Shoes, a landmark in British film-making, in part largely due to the creative cinematography of Jack Cardiff and his innovative use of the new technique of Technicolor.

In September, Oliver Hazard Perry destroyed most of the British fleet at the Battle of Lake Erie, taking control of the lake.

It is named in honor of Oliver Hazard Perry ( 1785 – 1819 ), American War of 1812 naval officer who, after his flagship was severely damaged, continued the fight from another ship and forced the surrender of the British fleet at the Battle of Lake Erie.

It was named for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry who defeated the British squadron in the decisive Battle of Lake Erie in 1813.

A similar situation occurred during a cooking segment featuring British chef Jamie Oliver, beginning with Letterman eating raw onions and resulting in Oliver, the episode's first guest Tom Cruise, and later Paul Shaffer, and him all drinking from a bottle of olive oil.
