Albert Einstein did not get along with quantum mechanics. He called it "spooky action at a distance" and spent decades trying to explain the fallacies. But Niels Bohr fought back, defending the Copenhagen interpretation, which claimed that quantum reality doesn’t exist until we measure it.
The Bohr-Einstein debates were some of the most legendary arguments in science, filled with clever thought experiments, deep philosophy, and a battle over the nature of reality itself. Did Bohr really defeat Einstein? Or was Einstein’s skepticism a clue that quantum mechanics is still incomplete?
This episode unpacks the greatest physics debate of all time and the experiments that settled the score.
