I have never met a person who can isolate the moment when X became known to man.

The fuck does that even mean? The second? Is he asking for a dateand time? How many people has he asked? Could any of them look it up?

This isn't ancient history, it was less than 100 years ago. Links in my top level comment, but the answer is that nuclear fission as a concept emerged right around Christmas 1938.

Ice cream is far older, with early evidence of chilled dairy desserts from the Tang Dynasty ca. 618-907 CE.

You don't count as the "a person I've met". I appreciate your efforts all the same.

And if you look back before fission, modern physics has a pretty well documented history. You can generally start at Maxwell, move forward to the guys who were trying to rectify the predicted speed of light vs observed speed of light, quantum physics, etc. I spent half a year getting real deep into it but you could probably teach the gist of pre-1945 nuclear physics in an afternoon
