Answer to Question 1

It unifies the wave-particle duality into a single consistent theory and has successfully dealt with the spectra emitted by complex atoms, even the fine details. It explains the relative brightness of spectral lines and how atoms form molecules. It is also a much more general theory that covers all quantum phenomena from blackbody radiation to atoms and molecules. It has explained a wide range of natural phenomena and from its predictions many new practical devices have become possible.
