Like the PF logo...William Chua said:I see it in almost every logo that has something to do with science.
I think it *is* just a logo, based on that Bohr sketch on the right.William Chua said:I I see it in almost every logo that has something to do with science. But I can't figure out who really first drew that picture. Was it Bohr? Or Rutherford? Or maybe someone else?
Hahaha! Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice that!berkeman said:Like the PF logo...![]()
Pretty sure it was @Greg Bernhardt when he updated the forum software about a year ago...William Chua said:Hahaha! Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice that!
But, really, I'm curious who made that drawing first and when.
But I'm also pretty sure @Greg Bernhardt is too young to have done it first.berkeman said:Pretty sure it was @Greg Bernhardt when he updated the forum software about a year ago...![]()

A circle viewed obliquely appears elliptical.DrClaude said:What puzzles me is that the drawing uses ellipses to represent the orbits, while Bohr's orbits are circular. So in a sense, it doesn't correspond to any actual theory that was proposed about the atom.
Didn't Sommerfeld's extension of the original Bohr model use elliptical orbits?DrClaude said:What puzzles me is that the drawing uses ellipses to represent the orbits, while Bohr's orbits are circular. So in a sense, it doesn't correspond to any actual theory that was proposed about the atom.
