attempted to bring my examination to bear on two problems. First, within three months of hearing of the neutron, Heisenberg suc ceeded in using it as the basis of a semiquantitative explanation of the composition and stability of nuclei. A comparison of Heisen berg and Bohr makes it possible to elucidate and, in part, to explain Heisenberg's achievement. Second, I have taken up the question of the place of nuclear theory within theoretical physics as a whole. This problem has not yet been dealt… CONTINUE READING
