Cracked by: nisha’s thambi , VikraM , iamniks , Gammafunction , Tathagata Chatterjee , sidsen , deepak , Abhishek , alephnull , bobo , yaksha , prasanth , udupendra, and Keerthi Kiran M.
bobo, sidsen, Gammafunction and nisha’s thambi got the theme! 1 point for the answer + 2 points for the theme added to their totals :-)
Answer:
Models of the atom and how they evolved through the years:
1) John Dalton’s atomic theory
2) JJ Thompson’s plum-pudding model of the atom
3) Rutherfords model of the atom, from the gold-sheet experiment
4) Bohr’s model of the atom (discrete electron orbits!)
5) Current model of the atom with the concept of electron clouds around a nucleus, based on Heisenberg’s theories.
The answer: Bohr’s model of the atom.

THEME: Unusual Software Bugs
heisenbug, bohrbug, mandelbug so far
Blame AutoRaja
evidently its something in between bohr’s model and the current quantum mechanical model of the atom…..so maybe the Sommerfield Model ? with all the elliptical orbits etc.
Hisenberg, Mandelbrot, Sommerfeld ! I dunno,,,,,,,interesting theme
Blame AutoRaja
4. is the Rutherford model of the atom
Blame AutoRaja
John Dalton’s model ->rasin in pudding model ->
Rutherford atomic model -> Bohr- Sommerfeld model of the atom -> Schrödinger’s atom as wave model -> and now electron cloud model based on heisenberg’s principle.
… therefore i think 4 includes bohr-sommerfeld model and Schrödinger’s model of an atom
is the theme-UNUSUAL SOFTWARE BUGS?

2. JJ Thomson’s Atomic Model
3. Rutherford’s Model
4. Should be Bohr’s Model
5. schrodinger’s Model
Theme: Quantum Chaos???

theme: bugs (heisenbug, mandelbug, bohrbug, i’m predicting schroedinbug and stole would wrap up the series). see see see, i just knew the Schrodinger’s cat would come in somewhere.
Blame AutoRaja
My second guess for the theme is non-linear dynamic models.

theme: comp bugs
Blame AutoRaja
De broglie’s atomic model.
Blame AutoRaja
Schrödinger’s model.. i.e the hydrogen atom with energy bands..
Blame AutoRaja
Theme guess: Scientists with Asteroids named after them. Holds good for the three so far, at least.
