In the annals of scientific history, few names shine as brightly as Niels Bohr. A Danish physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the atom, Bohr's contributions to quantum mechanics changed the face of modern physics. His groundbreaking model of atomic structure, proposed in 1913, laid the foundation for our current understanding of the subatomic world. But Bohr was more than just a brilliant scientist; he was a passionate advocate for the responsible use of scientific knowledge. During World War II, he played a crucial role in the Manhattan Project, and later became an outspoken proponent of international cooperation in atomic research. Join us as we delve into the life and legacy of this remarkable thinker, exploring how his ideas continue to shape our world today.
