His death in November 1962 drew mourning from an anguished scientific landscape that recognized the monumental loss of a pioneer in physics. Yet, Bohr’s legacy persisted. The ideas he championed—uncertainty, complementarity, and international scientific cooperation—continue to pulse through modern physics and technology.
Today, quantum mechanics underpins crucial technological advancements, enabling breakthroughs in computing, medical imaging, and communication. As physicists navigate the ongoing quantum revolution, they grapple with questions about the foundations of reality, just as Bohr had done decades before.
