论文摘要
大学和大学一级的大多数物理教科书都在历史背景下引入量子物理。但是，此历史记录的教科书版本与实际历史记录不符。在本文中，一系列文章中的第一篇观察量子历史的教科书描述，我们通过她的努力跟随一名杰出的学生，以了解导致Niels Bohr工作的早期原子模型。当她发现汤姆森（Thomson）对著名的原子模型的描述是一部讽刺漫画时，几乎没有汤姆森（Thomson）的作品，而卢瑟福（Rutherford）的原子的辐射不稳定根本不存在时，我们就会感到失望。怎么可能？卢瑟福甚至没有讨论电子的运动。叙述中的这些缺陷不仅是化妆品的不准确性，主要的叙述是围绕真实故事中完全是错误或不存在的主张的重点，因此使整个仅说明了小说。作为物理社区，我们应该做得更好。
Most physics textbooks at college and university level introduce quantum physics in a historical context. However, the textbook version of this history does not match the actual history. In this article, the first in a series of articles looking at the textbook description of the quantum history, we follow an exceptional student through her endeavors to understand the early atomic models that led up to the work of Niels Bohr. We experience her disappointment when she discovers that the description of the famous atomic model by Thomson, is a mere caricature with almost no trace of Thomson's work and that the supposedly important radiative instability of Rutherford's atoms, is not there at all; how could it be? Rutherford did not even discuss the motion of the electrons. These flaws in the narrative are not just cosmetic inaccuracies, the main narrative is centered around claims that are simply wrong or non-existent in the real story and thus rendering the whole telling mere fiction. We as a physics community should do better.
