Scenarios about 'atomic theory'
The scientific understanding of matter as composed of discrete units called atoms, which combine to form molecules and compounds. Atomic theory evolved from ancient philosophical concepts through modern quantum mechanics, with major contributions from Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, and others who revealed the internal structure of atoms. In alternate history scenarios, different paths of atomic theory development could dramatically alter technological progression, especially regarding nuclear energy, weapons, and computing.
