Quantum Computing - Electron Boogaloo - Extra History - #2
Added 2018-09-22 00:05:07 +0000 UTCToday we're exploring one of Albert Einstein's most controversial papers: his ideas on the photoelectric effect, which describes light as quanta (discrete packets of energy) instead of a classical wave. This new understanding of light helped Niels Bohr create a new model of the atom.

I'm sorry. I looked it up. I'm thinking of Ernest Rutherford and his experiment with Alpha particles.

2018-09-23 22:35:05 +0000 UTCI thought Madam Curie proved atoms had a hard, positively charged nucleus. I suppose Bohr just said that electrons orbited this nucleus, but still, I thought they still knew about atoms and electrons before that. Unless was Curie's famous experiment after Einstein's paper and Bohr's model?

2018-09-22 14:58:43 +0000 UTCSorry, a correction: Einstein never struggled at school, that is a myth. The confusion comes from the method of his school in collecting grades. Instead of a 10 being a maximum and a 0 the minimum It was the contrary, a 0 the maximum and a 10 a minimum. And the story of him repeating an year came from the fact that his school changed this system to a more "normal" one, making a 0 a low note and a 10 a high one. He always achieve zeros (when It was a high grade) and his notes came to be tens wen the system changed. I used to believe that too.ο»Ώ
