Riddled with jealousy, rivalry, missed opportunities and moments of
genius, the history of the atom's discovery is as bizarre, as
capricious, and as weird as the atom itself. John Dalton gave us
the first picture of the atom in the early 1800s. Almost 100 years
later the young misfit New Zealander, Ernest Rutherford, showed the
atom consisted mostly of space, and in doing so overturned
centuries of classical science. It was a brilliant Dane, Neils
Bohr, who made the next great leap - into the incredible world of
quantum theory. Yet, he and a handful of other revolutionary young
scientists weren't prepared for the shocks Nature had up her
sleeve. This 'insightful, compelling' book (New Scientist) reveals
the mind-bending discoveries that were destined to upset everything
we thought we knew about reality and unleash a dangerous new force
upon the world. Even today, as we peer deeper and deeper into the
atom, it throws back as many questions at us as answers.
