.Rutherford vs Bohr Bohr smug and clearly a dick Rutherford standing onstage Bohr (comes in): Oh I say, Rutherford. It's been a big week, hasn't it? Rutherford: Not really, time moves slowly in the science world. B Well, that may be true for a scientist like yourself - but for someone on the cutting edge of scientific progress like myself it moves awfully quickly R I believe we are equally talented scientists, Bohr B Do you believe I’m some kind of cad? R I do not believe you are some kind of cad B Well I’d have to be some kind of cad to even entertain the idea that we are on the same level of scientific research R What makes you so sure you’re superior to me? B: Oh, so you haven't heard? I've discovered a new model of the atom. R: Oh, really? Well, that is impressive. Well done. B: It is well done. Well done by me. And, Rutherford, remind me if you will, what are you famous for? R: Well, my model of the atom. B: That's right, your outdated model of the atom. Outdated by me, Neils Bohr. High Five for Bohr (High fives self) ...from Bohr. I deserved that. R: Well, Bohr, this is what science is all about, it's about progress and new discoveries. B: Yes, I would say I am a science. R: I didn't even imply that - B: Science Bohr, that's what they'll call me. Neils "The Science" Bohr. R: That seems highly unlikely. B: What seems highly unlikely, Rutherford, is that your model of the atom will remain the generally accepted model of the atom R: I don't understand why you're being such a jerk. B: You don't understand a lot of things, Rutherford. Electron orbits, for example. How to not fail, perchance. R: Look, I still advanced human understanding a great deal. In my experiment with the Hydrogen spectrum... ( Bohr interrupts) B: Woah, nerd... R: What? I'm not a nerd. B: That sounds like nerd talk to me, nerd. R: You're just as big a nerd.. in fact - your science is more accurate than mine. You must be a bigger nerd because you're clearly a better scientist than I am. B: Aha! Made you say it! R: Touche |
