> [“It isn't just that Bohr's atom with its electron "orbits" is a false picture; all pictures are false, and there is no physical analogy we can make to understand what goes on inside atoms. Atoms behave like atoms, nothing else.”](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/john-gribbin/it-isn-t-just-that-bohr-s-atom-with-its-electron-orbits-is-a-false/)
