Physicist Niels Bohr is credited with creating the theory. The gunslinger effect, also sometimes called Bohr's law or the gunfighter's dilemma, is a psychophysical theory which says that an intentional or willed movement is slower than an automatic or reaction movement. [1]
He went briefly to England, and moved for a year to Copenhagen, where he worked under Niels Bohr.
