    Physicists and the misleading spin

    Pauli had a hard time trying to figure out what the fourth quantum number of the electron could represent. Although two young men later came up with the correct answer, he still couldn’t believe that electrons do have a “spin”. The name of this property is indeed misleading, which caused a lot of confusion, nearly scaring two impulsive but lucky boys to death.

    Pauli and his irritating electron

    Niels Bohr’s atomic model was the basis of the following theories. The problem of why electrons have fixed orbits led to the discovery of Schrödinger’s wave function. This time, another problem of why electrons stay in their orbits rather than fall to lower energy levels led to Pauli, the Austrian genius, discovering the Pauli’s exclusion principle. Even a talented physicist like him got irritated over the Anomalous Zeeman effect, which holds the secret of a missing quantum number. We are still a step away from cracking the whole puzzle.

    Erwin Schrödinger and his girlfriends/ wave function

    Erwin Schrödinger had a lot of girlfriends. They were his source of inspiration, but his wife wasn’t exactly happy about it. Amidst all the talking about divorce, Erwin went to Arosa for a few days off and wrote a bunch of Nobel Prize winning papers, accompanied by a former girlfriend of his. The wave function ruled and the physics world greeted him with a burst of applause, despite his affairs.

    Louis de Broglie and his wavy electron

    Why do electrons have fixed orbits? Niels Bohr couldn’t explain. Louis de Broglie came to the rescue. His doctoral paper won him the Nobel Prize, which was excellent, except for the fact that it started the World War of particle or wave again.

    Special episode (continued)

    Still remember about the 2024 Olympics in Paris? A French physicist is going to fix the problems of Niels Bohr’s atom cake.

    Special episode: A trip to Copenhagen

    I actually visited Denmark this summer and had quite a nice experience. There were plenty of sites related to the twentieth century physics world.

    Niels Bohr and his atomic model

    In short, the Danish boy Niels Henrik David Bohr found a quantized version of an atom. Discontinuity, an important characteristic of quantum theory has been introduced to the world. Note: Niels Bohr will pop up continually in the upcoming episodes, so do t forget about him!

    Light- the unfinished third battle

    There is a revolution waiting ahead. The quantum theory will play a major part in it. The third battle is far from over. Groups of geniuses in the early twentieth century are ready to give us a big surprise, and a brand new physics.
