It is impossible to agree with many statements by Mr. Rigden.

"Contemporary physicists pay no attention to it" (Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics) -

this is absolutely wrong. It is developed further but the essence stays as a cornerstone.

Bohr did nothing after 1921 - he just founded modern nuclear physics (liquid drop, fission and idea

of compound nucleus). He created great ideas, and naturally, not all of them turned out to be correct, so what?

I am surprised by the tone of this opinion.
