This model showed that electrons orbiting around the nucleus similarly to how the planets orbit the sun.
  • Concept of Complementarity

    Concept of Complementarity
    Bohr developed the complementarity principle during a lecture about Quantum Mechanics and Casualty (Bohr, 1928) "complementarity principle, in physics, tenet that a complete knowledge of phenomena on atomic dimensions requires a description of both wave and particle properties" (Britannica, 1998).

    Refutation of Einstein
    According to an article on nature.com, "Bohr proposed that entities (such as electrons) had only probabilities if they weren’t observed, Einstein argued that they had independent reality, prompting his famous claim that “God does not play dice”. Years later, he added a gloss: “What we call science has the sole purpose of determining what is" (Skibba, 2018).

    CERN stands for the European Council of Nuclear Research. In 1952 Bohr lead a theory group to identify the requirements needed for the machine to produce meaningful results (CERN, 2022)
