The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.
But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom in which the electron was able to occupy only certain orbits around the nucleus. This atomic model was the first to use quantum theory, in that the electrons were limited to specific orbits around the nucleus. He postulated that electrons in the atom move in what he called energy states. These energy states are “stationary” (of fixed energy, not fixed position) at different distances from the nucleus. Bohr used his model to explain the spectral lines of hydrogen. He further reasoned that electrons can undergo transitions from one energy state to another.
