Washo&#039;&#039;&#039; is the author of work on the foundations of the Bohr model of the atom, published in the journal &#039;&#039;Physics Essays&#039;&#039;.

Rather than treating this quantization as an a priori assumption, the paper seeks to derive it, using an operator for angular momentum, as a consequence of physical law in a way the author presents as consistent with special relativity.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://physicsessays.org/browse-journal-2/category/80-issue-4-december-2005.html Physics Essays, Volume 18 Issue 4 (December 2005)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Washo Basil]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
