Niels Bohr, Niels Bohr

Bohr mentored and collaborated with many of the top physicists of the century at his institute in Copenhagen. He was also part of the team of physicists working on the Manhattan Project. Bohr married Margrethe Nrlund in 1912, and one of their sons, Aage Niels Bohr, grew up to be an important physicist who in 1975 also received the Nobel prize. Bohr has been described as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century. Murdoch, Dugald (2000) "Bohr" in Newton-Smith, N. H. (ed.) A Companion to the Philosophy of Science .
