ABSTRACT
With this sort of confusion among his close colleagues, it’s surprising that Bohr had the range of in uence that he did. Perhaps this was due to his personal magnetism and conviction. As Pauli pointed out: “Bohr himself integrated, in lectures at international congresses and at those carefully planned conferences in Copenhagen, the diverse scienti c standpoints and epistemological attitudes of the physicists, and thereby imparted to
all participants in these conferences, the feeling of belonging, in spite of all their dissensions to one large family.”1
