 * Niels Henrik David Bohr was born on the 7th of October 1885, in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was born the second of three children to an upper middle-class family. Mother, Ellen (née Adler), the daughter of a Jewish banker, and father Christian Bohr was a professor of physiology at Copenhagen University, and a devout Lutheran. (It's his name that was given to the Bohr shift of Bohr effect) His father was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize. Harald, his younger brother, grew to be a professor of Mathmatics and Olympic footballer. Niels was also passionate about football, and the brothers played together in a number of matches for the Akademisk Boldklub. Bohr enrolled in the University of Copenhagen in 1903, with no doubt from anyone that he'd major in physics. He received his doctorate in physics in 1911. **
