“neil bohr’s 1913 model of the atom redefined the way that physicists
and other
scientists would consider the nature of matter. although bohr’s model
was
indeed a compromise of the popular ideas of the day, it marked a
turning point
at which the phenomenon of subatomic activity could be more acutely
considered
and partially explained.
so, how does considering the progression of man’s ideas related to
atomic theory
shed light on other aspects of human experience? how can we use the
lessons of
the scientific community to further our understanding of other
phenomenon? can
the ideas of neil bohr set an example of how we can understand far
greater
phenomenon?”
