Join author, journalist and scientist Manjit Kumar, for a fascinating holiday to the Danish capital, the birthplace of quantum physics. It was here that Niels Bohr (7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics, now known as the Niels Bohr Institute, where the greatest scientific minds of the era – including Einstein, Heisenberg and Schrödinger – pioneered work on atomic structure. Bohr claimed the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922, before escaping Nazi persecution to Britain, and then to the US as part of the British mission to J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project in Los Alamos. We will visit a number of locations associated with Bohr, including Copenhagen University where cutting-edge research is taking place into deep space and data science, as well as making a day trip to ancient Roskilde – now a centre for sustainable energy research.
