| Mar 23, 2023 at 3:26 | comment | added | Karsten♦ | @uhoh This post states that the Rutherford model is fuzzy on electronic structure. It does not, however, say when the "atom whirl" was first used. I found sources all the way back to 1948. During WWII, nuclear physics was top secret. Later, there was an effort to make the public comfortable with nuclear power (while also training them how to use fall-out shelters in the cold war). This was probably the time when the Rutherford model (with balls for electrons rather than some fuzzy quantum representation) was popular to popularize nuclear physics. | |
| Mar 23, 2023 at 2:05 | comment | added | uhoh | this has bothered me for over a half-century; I wonder if migration to, or a related question posted in HSM SE might be productive? Something like "What was the first..." or Was this ever justified/defended/explained scientifically?" or something along those lines. | |
