Part 4/11:
A turning point emerged in Bohr's life in 1911 when he transitioned from studying theoretical physics in Denmark to working alongside Ernest Rutherford in England. Rutherford's groundbreaking model of the atom laid the groundwork for Bohr's own ambitious theories. However, Bohr soon discovered that classical electromagnetism could not adequately explain atomic stability, as conventional models suggested that orbiting electrons should spiral into the nucleus, leading to atomic collapse.
