-
1903 Niels attends the Copenhagen University
This is where he studied chemistry, mathematics, astronomy and majored in physics. His Professor at the time was Christian Christiansen. -
1905, The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences is hosting a competition for the best research paper on surface tension of liquids.
The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences announces to award the best research paper on methods for measuring the surface tension of liquids with a gold medal. Niels, still being an undergraduate decided to take part in the competition. -
1906 Neils, completes the research and submits it in late 1906. Winning the gold medal
In the early stages of his research Neils father allowed him to use his physiology laboratory. However, neils was working tirelessly through out the night and day and his father asked him to stop and focus on his schooling, yet Niels decided to leave his fathers and move in with his grandparents' house and finish his research in which he finished his research and won the gold medal. -

In 1991 he completed his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Copenhagen -
1915 Niles was a lecturer pf physics at the Victoria University of Manchester
-
1916 Neils was made a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Copenhagen
He would go on to hold this position for 46 Years. -
1920 Neils founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen
Where he served as the administrator for the rest of his life. -

Neils goes on to fine tune the model that Rutherford made and add further explanation such as only certain special orbits called discrete orbits are allowed inside the atom as well as while revolving around these orbits the electrons do no radiate energy -
1962 Death
Neils would go on to be involved in many scientific revolutions until 1962 where neils would suffer a fatal heart attack and die at the age of 77 -
