Starting His Journey (1885-1912)
Niels Bohr was born into an educated family in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1885. His father, a Professor of Physiologist at Copenhagen University, influenced Niels Bohr greatly.
Niels Bohr graduated from Copenhagen University with a masters in 1909 and doctorate in 1911 (Biographical). Niels Bohr – Biographical. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Prize Outreach AB 2023. Mon. 24 Sep 2023. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1922/bohr/biographical/ -

Mind and Lab Experiments
Studied under Nobel laureates; Sir Joseph John Thompson and Professor Ernest Rutherford These people influenced the development of Niels’ as they were experts in the field of Physics (Thomson) and Chemistry (Rutherford) because later Niels had to grapple with the motion of an atom in different elements (Biographical).

Atom Theory
The 28, the Danish Physicist published a series of papers in 1913 describing the behavior of atoms and the experimental results with hydrogen atoms and spectroscopy as proof (Cropper 243).

Theory finally a Reality
Professor Niels Bohr establishes a school in Copenhagen, Denmark on theoretical and experimental physics called the Bohr Institute (Cropper 243). Cropper, William H. Great Physicists the Life and Times of Leading Physicists from Galileo to Hawking. Oxford University Press, 2001. -
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics
Professor Bohr's work on Atom theory helped another famous Professor named Max Planck who was later awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering the behavior of particles and waves at an atomic scale called the Planck constant (Nobel Lecture).

Quantum Relationship to War
After World War II, Niels Bohr tried to place himself between the United States and the Soviet Union power struggle in the development of a nuclear bomb. He made no significant contributions to the Manhattan project but saw a danger of what the shift in the balance of power could in the political spectrum and tried to stop it (Cropper 253-255).

Niels Bohr Passes Away in Copenhagen
Professor Niels Bohr spent a life with a sense of responsibility to society in the work he was involved in as a Physicist during the Cold War (Cropper 253-255). Cropper, William H. Great Physicists the Life and Times of Leading Physicists from Galileo to Hawking. Oxford University Press, 2001.
