Bohr became the pride of Denmark, and activities to celebrate his 60th and 70th birthdays were widely held all over the country. When celebrating his 60th birthday, an independent fund of 400,000 kroner was set up for him to encourage various research activities. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, the king awarded him the Danish First Class Medal, and the government and scientific association decided to set up a Bohr gold medal with his head cast on it to reward modern physicists who made outstanding contributions.
In his later years, Bohr still actively participated in organizational activities and social activities, and ran around to consolidate the international cooperation of scientists from all over the world until 1962+065438+ 10/8 died.
Since then, people have lost a talented scientist and thinker, a fighter for world peace and mutual understanding among peoples, and a simple, honest, kind and approachable friend of all mankind. Relevant institutions in many countries in the world have sent countless messages and letters to the Royal Danish Society of Science to mourn the giant of science.
