By Amir D. Aczel

In view that our on-line world turned truth, the strains among "science" and "science fiction" became more and more blurred. Now, quantum mechanics provides that a few of humanity's wildest goals should be learned. critical scientists, operating from Einstein's theories, were investigating the phenomenon referred to as "entanglement," one of many strangest features of our unusual universe. in line with Einstein, quantum mechanics required entanglement — the concept that subatomic debris may turn into associated, and switch to at least one such particle could immediately be mirrored in its counterpart, no matter if separated by means of a universe. Einstein felt that if quantum concept may well produce such strange results, then it needed to be invalid. yet new experiments express that not just does it ensue, yet that it might result in unbreakable codes, or even teleportation, probably in our lifetime.

She remained by his side throughout his life, and was a power in organizing the physics group founded in Copenhagen by her husband. On March 6, 1913, Bohr sent Rutherford the first chapter of his treatise on the constitution of atoms. He asked his former mentor to forward the work to the Philosophical Magazine for publication. This manuscript was to catapult him the copenhagen school 00 43 from a young physicist who has made some important progress in physics to a world figure in science. Bohr’s breakthrough discovery was that it is impossible to describe the atom in classical terms, and that the answers to all questions about atomic phenomena had to come from the quantum theory.

The classical theory did not work, so Bohr took a big step: He applied quantum constraints to his particles. Bohr used Planck’s constant in two ways in his famous theory of the hydrogen atom. First, he noted that the angular momentum of the orbiting electron in his model of the hydrogen atom had the same dimensions as Planck’s constant. This led him to postulate that the angular momentum of the orbiting electron must be a multiple of Planck’s constant divided by 2p, that is: mvr= h/2p, 2(h/2p), 3(h/2p), .
