Physics in Perspective Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract.

We provide a physical tour of Copenhagen focusing particularly on the sites associated with five great Danish scientists: Tycho Brahe (1546–1601), Niels Steensen (1638–1686), Ole Rømer (1644–1710), Hans Christian Ørsted (1777–1851), and Niels Bohr (1885–1962). We also point out the cemetery where prominent scientists are buried, and we note the location of the Carlsberg Honorary Residence.
