Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr is widely considered to be the pioneer of Modern Physics. He was born on October 7, 1885 in Copenhagen, Denmark and as made a significant contribution to science today, contributions such as helping the understanding of the structure of properties of atoms. He was the winner of the 1922 Nobel Prize for physics solely for his work on the atomic structure. He also holds a doctorate in this area of science. He described the way atoms emit radiation, by suggesting that when an electron jumps from an outer orbit to an inner one, that it emits light. This theory was later expanded into the area of Quantum Physics.

  • “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”
