Niels Bohr: Copenhagen Denmark
built 629 days ago
Niels Bohr seems to be the known in Michael Frayn's play. Although Heisenberg in the play says that Bohr is both the Holy Office and the Inquisition in one person, Bohr has not the mystery or the fascination Heisenberg has. He is the half-Jewish father (Pope) of the spiritual seekers who hope to find Truth in understanding the atoms that constitute the universe. He escaped from Nazi-occupied Denmark and so holds the moral high ground, in spite of his never confirming an active role in the execution of the Allies' atomic bomb project.

Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962) was a young post-doctoral fellow from Denmark working with Ernest Rutherford in England during these heady days of discovery. The experimental feature plaguing their minds was the structure of the atom. How could the electrons orbit the nucleus and not lose energy? Why was this configuration stable?

After World War II, Niels Bohr returned to Copenhagen and advocated for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Bohr was born on October 7, 1885 in Copenhagen, Denmark and died on November 18, 1962. The element of Bohrium was named in his honor.

During the German occupation of Denmark in 1941, Niels Bohr fled to Sweden, and eventually to London and the United States. He worked at Los Alamos laboratory under the assumed name Nicholas Baker, and helped in the Manhattan Project. After the war he returned to Denmark, where he advocated the peaceful use of atomic energy. He died in Copenhagen in 1962.

Niels Bohr was born on October 7, 1885, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His father was the internationally famous physiologist Professor Christian Bohr who was born in 1855 and was the son of a headmaster, later professor, H.G.C. Bohr and his wife n6e Rimestad. Christian Bohr received a medical degree in 1878, but never practiced as a doctor. Originally Christian wanted to be a zoologist, but Japetus Steenstrup convinced his to become a doctor first. He may have felt that Christian's abilities and interest lay more in the exact than in the purely descriptive scientific disciplines.

Niels Bohr (1885-1962) was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on the 7 of October 1885. He went on to make a number of contributions to the understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. In 1922 he won the Nobel Prize for physics, for his contribution on the structure of atoms. After receiving his doctorate in physics from the University of Copenhagen in 1911, he travelled to Cambridge in England to study under Ernest Rutherford a British physicist.
