4. For example, in the classic book Mass Spectra and Isotopes by F. W. Aston (2nd ed., Arnold, London, 1942), the discovery of the radioactive displacement law is associated with the names of Soddy, Fajans, Russell, and Vlack, and nothing is said about the role of Bohr.
5. Many decades have passed since Bohr’s papers devoted to the comprehension (interpretation) of quantum mechanics. Nevertheless, great attention has been paid in recent years to attempts to reinterpret quantum mechanics and to check various experiments proposed in this connection. Furthermore, the applicability limits of quantum theory in its well-known form and the possibilities for its generalization are being discussed. However, the new approaches have typically nothing in common with the Bohm’s new interpretation’ mentioned above. At the same time, though, I would now elucidate the content of quantum mechanics in perhaps a somewhat different way than in 1962. (Author’s note to the 1995 Russian edition; see also Sect. 6 in the second chapter of Part I.)
