When I graduated from high school in 1954, Atomic Structure became my only hobby as I believed that the atom models being taught violated the natural laws of the universe. I was convinced that the existing precise radii measurements of atoms should be enough to identify the precise physical structure of all atoms. This resulted in a 50 year “Voyage of Reason”. The results are online.
