RE: The Curious Quantum World: Part 2
If you allow me for on extra precision: the problem with Bohr's idea was that is was working for hydrogen, but not for helium and other nuclei. This is why his theory is today know as the old quantum theory.
I agree the ideas behind Bohr's model are dated and were limited in scope. Bohr's improvement to the Rutherford model was the first successful quantum physical interpretation of atom. The Bohr model has been replaced by more accurate versions. It's worth considering that the quantum theory behind his model mostly remains sound to this date.
Sure, it is part of the foundations of QM :)
