Throughout history, we have become better and better at understanding how the world works. This understanding began with simple observations of our world that have remained the accepted truth for centuries. Our observations explained what we didn't know; we were able to use intuition to discover the world and the universe, which became a central part of the knowledge we had during our development. Almost everything was wrong. Through the establishment of empirical science, we discovered that many old ideas we had accepted as fact were in fact fallacious. This marked the shift from assumptions based on logic and instinct that may be inadequate to the challenge of old ideas, which has been essential to the progress of humanity. New theories often seem ridiculous when they are introduced, but it is many of these theories that become a fundamental part of us. It is the ability to think differently and question accepted knowledge that has pushed us forward, and there has been no greater contribution to our species than the ideas of quantum mechanics, the absurd theory proposed in the early 20th century , but which revolutionized the world as we know it. Niels Bohr, one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics, immersed himself in the subatomic world of strange and wonderful things, introducing a completely new way of thinking about how the universe works, one that pays no attention to logic. Bohr made revolutionary discoveries about how the building blocks of the universe work, challenged conventional wisdom, and put humanity on the verge of becoming what it is today, opening up many more possibilities for the future. Niels Bohr initiated the progress of countless scientific discoveries studies through his discovery of the structure...... middle of paper ...... future changes. This ability to accept that you have made mistakes in the past and to use those mistakes to push yourself into the future is what is an intrinsic part of human nature. Those who can consider new ideas that can push the limits of any preconceived knowledge are those who represent our species, for throughout our history we have questioned what we were told as fact. This desire for change characterizes how we make progress, how science works, and how our species moves from ignorance to wisdom, through rebellion and ingenuity. No attribute will ever be more central to our development as a species than the introduction of new ideas and their gradual acceptance among us, and our growing capacity to be open to these new theories is what will dramatically alter us and, ultimately, lead to our development. full understanding of the universe and who we are.
