Jacob Bohr, a famous Danish scientist. When he was studying in college, one day he was doing an experiment in the laboratory, and a glass bottle slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. Broken bottles often happen in the laboratory, and others just clean them in a hurry. But Jacob Bohr looked at the fragments of different sizes and suddenly had a strange idea. He carefully picked up the glass fragments and carefully classified them according to their size. He found that the fragments can be divided into four categories: the four categories of fragments are weighed by a balance, and the ratio of two adjacent fragments is close to 16: 1, regardless of the total amount or the individual. Jacob Bohr broke a dozen bottles, and the experimental results were strikingly similar. From 65438 to 0942, Jacob Bohr introduced the famous "Jacob Bohr's Law" based on his own experimental data, which was highly praised by scientists.

Broken vase theory-

In daily life, everyone will accidentally break something, but few people study what knowledge is in the debris. However, Danish physicist Jacob Bohr found a rule from broken vases: the fragments of broken objects are classified according to the order of weight, and different weight categories show a unified multiple relationship. For example, the weight ratio of the largest and second largest fragments of a broken vase is 16: 1, and the weight ratio of the second and third largest fragments is 16: 1.

This is the famous broken vase theory. Bohr further discovered that the weight ratio of objects with different shapes is different. After the vase or teacup is broken, the multiple is about 16, the rod-shaped object is about 1 1, and the sphere is about 40. Most importantly, this multiple has nothing to do with the material of the object. Even if a piece of frozen tofu falls to the ground, it will abide by this rule.

The most practical of this theory is that as long as there are parts of the same object, we can find this multiple and infer the approximate shape of the object before it is broken. The theory of vase breakage is particularly useful in restoring the original appearance of cultural relics and speculating meteorites, which points out a theoretical direction for these works originally based on speculation, experience and imagination.
