Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

As profound as was the work of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in physics, their thoughts and practice in education were of the same nature. In 1952 Einstein wrote an article titled, “Education f ...

Tell us about your education. My formal schooling began when I was seven, at the Gammelholm School in Copenhagen, Denmark. I did well in all my studies -- well, all studies except composition ...

Niels Bohr famously speculated that the uncertainty ... Some artists drew on the concepts of Einstein's theory of relativity and applied them — with terrific distortion, obviously — to explain ...

When an electron dropped from a high-energy orbit to a lower-energy one, it gave out light with an energy equal to the ...

Einstein wasn't the biggest cheerleader for quantum theory. In fact, he argued back and forth with physicist Niels Bohr over certain occurrences that he believed violated fundamental laws of physics.

Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. But his mark on science and history was worldwide. His professional work and personal convictions ...
