The Man Who Explained the Atom

1913. A 27-year-old Danish physicist publishes three papers that explain atomic structure for the first time. Niels Bohr proposes that electrons orbit in quantized energy levels, that atoms emit light when electrons jump between levels, and that his model explains every spectral line of hydrogen with perfect precision. The atom, mysterious for millennia, suddenly makes sense. Over the next fifty years, Bohr would create the Copenhagen Institute, mentor every major figure in quantum mechanics, develop the Copenhagen interpretation through intense debates with Einstein, escape Nazi-occupied Denmark in a bomber's bay, advise the Manhattan Project, and warn about nuclear arms races. He revolutionized physics twice—first with his atomic model, then with his interpretation of quantum mechanics—and created an institution where the quantum revolution happened. This is the complete story of Niels Bohr: from Danish football player to atomic architect to quantum philosopher to nuclear advocate."
