Einstein believed that a quantum state for sub-atomic particles existed prior to it being measured; Bohr believed that the quantum state was fundamentally unknown prior to a measurement. This idea is called "realism." As Einstein stated, "I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it."
For many decades this debate was more philosophical than scientific, as there wa no experiment to determine which model was more correct.
In the last couple of decades, experiments have unambiguously disproved the idea of "local realism." In our Universe, one of two things MUST be true:
1) Prior to measurement, the quantum state of a photon does not exist.
2) Photons can communicate their quantum state to another photo faster than the speed of light.
Scientists are still debating which is true, and under what specific circumstances. But experiments clearly show they can not BOTH be false.
In 1913 he gave us the Bohr Model to explain the Rydberg formula for spectral emissions.
Answer:It is not clear . Some books advocates Max plank, some Neils Bohr , some Erwin Schrodinger and some even say Heisenberg . Definitely Max Planck. No Doubt !Answer:Max Planck was the first to use ideas of quantum theory when he solved the "ultraviolet catastrophe" in December of 1900. At the time, however, neither he nor the vast majority of the scientific community noticed the implications of his "quantization of energy."In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper on the photoelectric effect in which he described energy transfer via light in the form of photons. He was one of the first physicists to acknowledge that particles could only obtain certain discrete energies.Many textbooks, however, will credit Max Planck as the "father of quantum theory."
Bohr studied the spectrums of various atoms and generalized his quantum theory from his discoveries. He concluded that the electrons of an atom determined many of its characteristics.
Niels Bohr (the father, not the son who also got a Nobel prize) is known for: - Nuclear models with layers explaining radiation - Contributions to quantum mechanics - Political work after WWII to put the nuclear bomb under UN control
Neils Bohr
In 1913 he gave us the Bohr Model to explain the Rydberg formula for spectral emissions.
Neils Bohr's most significant contributions to science were creating the Bohr model of the atom and furthering the understanding of quantum mechanics.
Albert Einstein This theory underwent many incremental changes and they all occurred before Einstein got active. The first was Neils Borh

Was it not Neils Bohr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr#Atomic_research

Yes, Niels Bohr wrote several books, including "Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature" and "The Philosophical Writings of Niels Bohr." These books explore his ideas on quantum mechanics, atomic structure, and the philosophy of science.
Your question is on the order of asking, "Does the Earth go around the Sun?" Every experiment done over the last eighty years or so has confirmed the accuracy of quantum mechanics -- in one case, the agreement between theory and experiment was within ten parts per BILLION. I'm fully aware that QM doesn't agree with what we "know" about our world. Neils Bohr, one of the founders of QM, has been quoted as saying, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." Nevertheless, QM is as true as a helio-centric solar system.

An atomic theory that patches up the holes in Ernest Rutherford's own. Bohr's theory states that electrons give off energy in bunches, not continously, so as long as the electrons remain in a stable orbit they will have the same amount of energy.
