Atoms Quote by Johannes Stark
“In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta.”
About This Quote
Source Lecture: Atomic Physics, 1915
The atom is a unified whole where parts work together, and spectral lines arise from coordinated quantum actions.
In simple terms: Atoms act as a coordinated whole.

Quantum behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
![“[Decoding the human genome sequence] is the most significant undertaking that we have mounted so far in an organized way in all of science. I believe that reading our blueprints, cataloguing our own instruction book, will be judged by history as more significant than even splitting the atom or…” quote by Francis Collins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5c6/francis-collins-5281_atoms_decoding-the-human-genome-sequence-is-th_15604.jpg)
