Vilhelm Bohr Public Lecture: Niels Bohr - Life Behind the Physics

Dr. Vilhelm Bohr, grandson of quantum science pioneer Niels Bohr, delivers a talk as part of Perimeter's Institute's 2014/15 Public Lecture Series.

Recently I saw a YouTube video titled “Greatest Talk of the year”, I laughed . After I saw this first thing that popped in my mind was “this is the greatest talk of the year”. Thank you Dr. Bohr for continuing the family tradition of education and helping humanity. And thank you for sharing the intimate moments your family spent on this beautiful planet 🌎!

Fantastic really to see so many new pictures of the old master. He must have been really quite a character. And lived a full on life. Thanks

Et skønt foredrag. Vorherre laver sådanne mænd og kvinder som Niels Bohr og Margrethe Nørlund når Fanden giver ham lov.

The remarkable Scandinavian mentality honest down to earth never brag. I like the whole lecture. I give high five.

Lovely tribute to a GREAT MIND and HUMANITARIAN

The historical aspects, after a long long long introduction starts at 13:40

Thanks for a great lecture....from Copenhagen. Our university is founded in 1479, quite old. Also the Bohr family is very old in Copenhagen.

Please continue you experiment, most important

The great debate / Bohr and Einstein .what is really highlighted is how much theory is driven like law or anything else. If you can argue enough to get the majority to agree then this is what we call fact.
Bohr simultaneously made it clear that there is no such thing as fact but only probability.

Shared this at Linked In at the Spacecraft Architecture and Engineering group. 
The Yin and Yang symbol is on Niels Bohr's Family Crest and on his tombstone.  Life and Death a type of Yin and Yang, but so is the Higgs Boson that decays to a Bottom Quark and a Bottom anti-Quark.

To answer the gentleman's question how the atomic model was discovered. Niels Bohr wanted to explain the stability of the atom. According to the Rutherford's model (an atom with a nucleus and electrons circling the nucleus) the atom was not supposed to be stable because a circling electron radiates electromagnetic energy and soon would collapse into the nucleus. Bohr prevented the collapse of an atom with the introduction of the ground state and energy levels above the ground state where the transitions of electrons are dependent on the absorption or emission of a photon (a quantum of light). Bohr harmonized the quantum theory presented by Max Planck with the atomic model theorized by Rutherford and his colleagues.

That Man, introducing Bohr was like climbing the Everst

Cuando lé "eurekas y euforias" salían muchas anécdotas de Bohr . EL TIPO ES SEQUÍSIMO <3

human realities, earthly nature, spiritual realities and the perceptions of realities between the truths that enable a reality and the manifestation of personal perception from the subconscious; your will, exploration, the limits and liberations of imagination, attitude and personalized perception that is all blocking spirit-mind of spirit dimensions, what causes each individual to be as they are to the amount of their relation to which source they are closest to in the many sources, authorities, governings of realities. The 'gravity' that determines a soul's placement meets each individual between their complex light and dark, perfectly aligned with exactly what is going on with you, and what is around you (You: ancient spirit-being having a human experience at the moment) only one form of reality among zillions. Put perception and desire of preferable reality above what appears to reality, do not be shaped by what appears to be reality, be shaped by you as spirit: (the actual you at the center of awareness) and live with focus on any aspect of the reality you idealize, otherwise a soul is directed to and shaped by their lack of co-creating. Each sentient can be co-creator toward one sort of reality or another. Or if one is taken by a flow, their relation to a source resumes from this earthly nature. Enlightened perception is to realize you have a choice in how this life has a lot to do with what reality your being will become a part of. Earth/ Humans is not 'reality', it is A reality. You have been in countless other realities before this…i believe each person is actually a different reality, a different world, always moving from one reality to a different form. It makes sense when we leave the body, hence to live in that principle

not sure how someone can be 1/4 jewish ? being jewish is a religion not a race ? for example, i could claim to be jewish today although my ancestory converted to christianity several generations ago.

Bor, then and now, in the shade of big, big Albert
Well, Bor, was surely not the worlds leading scientist, he was in the shade of big, big Albert. That's why the world has Einstein iin mind and not Bor, not saying he was mediocre, but still...

[medievalmusiclover]

You forgot to tell the people that He was Jewish.
