Niels Bohr is regarded by many scientists as one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. He made fundamental contributions to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the theory that revolutionised physics 50 years ago, eclipsing even the work of Einstein. Yet Bohr has remained a private and little-known figure.
Paul Da vies, Professor of Theoretical Physics at
Newcastle University, reflects upon the life and work of Bohr and assesses how far his ideas have stood the test of time.
