History of subatomic physics indestructible. But when the nucleus change its charge and/or mass (by emitting or capturing a particle), the atom can become the one of another element. Special relativity explained how the "mass defect" is related to the energy produced or consumed in reactions. The branch of physics that studies transformations and the structure of nuclei is now called nuclear physics, contrasted to atomic physics that studies the structure and properties of atoms ignoring most nuclear aspects. The development in the nascent quantum physics, such as Bohr model, led to the understanding of chemistry in terms of the arrangement of electrons in
The Tao of Physics a whole culture that subscribed to very similar ideas. Heisenberg said that this was a great help for him. Niels Bohr had a similar experience when he went to China. As a result of those influences, Bohr adopted the yin yang symbol as part of his family coat of arms when he was knighted in 1947. "The Tao of Physics" was followed by other books of the same genre like "The Hidden Connection", "The Turning Point" and "The Web of Life" in which Capra extended the argument of how Eastern mysticism and scientific findings of today relate, and how Eastern
