The Bohr model is not lost at all; which way to measure then the electron mass again? Milliken's oil-drop - a select sample with averaged resultats? Why not work out an alternate subatomic model, not even too distant from quantized approaches? Just more scaled, a sloping gradient lending itself to calculus for averages.
And what if the mass of the earth is increasing, not only its radius (from cooling & expansion), but its mass, from particles ejected from the sun? What amount is actually falling on us annually, biennually, bicentenially, etc.?
