RE: [Fun science!] #1. The story of Rutherford and quantum mechanics
Very nice post on Rutherford.
Maybe one precision that you would like to add to your post: Rutherford contributed to the birth of quantum mechanics in some way, definitely, but he is not the one behind. His discoveries led Bohr to define the so-called Bohr model for explaining what is going on. Bohr's model is known as the old quantum theory. In short, the theory that has been replaced by quantum mechanics.
I have a never-ending project of writing a quantum mechanics course on Steemit (okay I started months ago and things are not progressing too fast). Feel free to have a look if you are motivated. There are already nine episodes around ;)
Thanks for the reply. In the next article, Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden will appear. The atomic model story of Niels Bohr will also appear. I appreciate your interest, and I will read your post hard. Thank you.
My pleasure :)
