When the atom, which had since ancient times been considered the smallest particle in the universe, turned out to constitute a whole new universe, a major new physics was born. This program is devoted to a portrait of the seminal figure in the field of nuclear physics. It tells the story of Niels Bohr’s life, of his institute, and of his work in unraveling the structure of the atom, laying the groundwork for the atomic bomb, and seeking to prevent its use.
