Planetary Atom The A Fictional Account Of George Adolphus Schott The Forgotten Physicist

This largely imaginary biography recreates the life and times of George Adolphus Schott a contemporary of Rutherford and Bohr who criticized the Planetary Atom which was proposed to account for celebrated observations by Rutherford. Schott proved the Planetary Atom to be incompatible with fundamental properties of physics. Unfortunately his work was cast aside because of Bohrs success in accounting for the structure of the atom.
