Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist. He is credited with scientific breakthroughs like the explanation of the atomic structure as well as quantum theory. He studied physics at Copenhagen University and earned a Ph.D in physics from the same university. He is well-known for having explained the atomic structure and his model is known as the ‘Bohr Model’, which remains the first model to have provided a valid theory on something that had been dwelt upon by number of scientists prior to Bohr. Other than the Bohr Model, he is renowned for ‘Bohr Radius’, ‘BKS Theory’, ‘Copenhagen Interpretation’, ‘Bohr Orbital’, ‘Hafnium’ and ‘Complementarity’ among others. Bohr was one of the most gifted scientists of his generation and he remains to be one of the most influential scientists to have ever existed. Bohr won several awards, chief among them being the ‘Hughes Medal’, ‘Copley Medal’, ‘Matteucci Medal’ and the ‘Nobel Prize in Physics’ among others. His observations and thoughts over sereval things made huge impact. He voiced great concern about how nations would work together. The below collection of Niels Bohr most famous quotes have been excerpted from his writings, papers and thoughts. We bring to you a collection of sayings and quotes by Niels Bohr that will surely leave a lasting impression.
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.
Niels Bohr
A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.
Niels Bohr
The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning.
Physics is not about how the world is, it is about what we can say about the world
Niels Bohr
We are suspended in language.
Niels Bohr
In our description of nature the purpose is not to disclose the real essence of the phenomena but only to track down, as far as possible, relations between the manifold aspects of our experience.
