[“Niels Henrik David Bohr” was a danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the ‘Nobel Prize in Physics’ in 1922]
.
(‘Bohr’ was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research)
(‘Bohr’ developed the ‘Bohr model’ of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another)
(although the ‘Bohr model’ has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid)
(he conceived the principle of ‘complementarity’: that items could be separately analysed in terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a ‘wave’ or a ‘stream of particles’)
(the notion of ‘complementarity’ dominated Bohr’s thinking in both ‘science’ and ‘philosophy’)
(‘Bohr’ founded the ‘Institute of Theoretical Physics’ at the ‘University of Copenhagen’, now known as the ‘Niels Bohr Institute’, which opened in 1920)
(‘Bohr’ mentored and collaborated with physicists including ‘Hans Kramers’, ‘Oskar Klein’, ‘George de Hevesy’, and ‘Werner Heisenberg’)
(he predicted the existence of a new ‘zirconium’-like element, which was named ‘hafnium’, after the Latin name for ‘Copenhagen’, where it was discovered)
(later, the element ‘bohrium’ was named after him)
(during the 1930s, Bohr helped refugees from ‘Nazism’)
(after ‘Denmark’ was occupied by the ‘Germans’, he had a famous meeting with ‘Heisenberg’, who had become the head of the German nuclear weapon project)
(in September 1943, word reached ‘Bohr’ that he was about to be arrested by the Germans, and he fled to Sweden)
(from there, he was flown to ‘Britain’, where he joined the ‘British Tube Alloys’ nuclear weapons project, and was part of the British mission to the ‘Manhattan Project’)
(after the war, ‘Bohr’ called for international cooperation on nuclear energy)
(he was involved with the establishment of CERN and the ‘Research Establishment Risø’ of the ‘Danish Atomic Energy Commission’, and became the first chairman of the ‘nordic institute for theoretical physics’ in 1957)
