Bohr-Einstein Debate and the Copenhagen Interpretation

The Bohr-Einstein debate was a scientific debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein in the 1920s about the fundamental nature of quantum mechanics. Einstein believed that quantum mechanics was incomplete, and that there must be some hidden variables that governed the behavior of particles. Bohr, on the other hand, believed that quantum mechanics was a complete theory that accurately described the behavior of particles. The debate centered around the concept of "entanglement," which describes how particles can become linked in such a way that the state of one particle can instantaneously affect the state of another particle, regardless of the distance between them. Einstein argued that this violated the principle of locality, which states that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Bohr, however, argued that the principle of locality was not violated because the state of the second particle was not determined until it was measured, at which point the information about the first particle was transmitted at the speed of light or slower.

The Bohr-Einstein debate was never fully resolved and continues to be a topic of discussion among physicists today. However, most physicists now accept Bohr's view that quantum mechanics is a complete theory, and that entanglement is a real and fundamental phenomenon.

You didn't mention Schrödinger in the photo

[markarmage]

You missed out on Schrodinger, Planck, Pauli, Fermi.

I thought that all science is "approximation", and that the theory of reality must be such. That is how it was explained by my professor of methodology at the university.

Einstein was both right and wrong. He was right in that Quantum Mechanics has a much simpler deterministic interpretation known as the Pilot Wave theory. But Einstein was against it because it violated Relativity because quantum entanglement would require instantaneous communication between entangled particles. Bells Inequality and the experiments that proved it just won the Nobel for proving Einstein wrong and showed that entangled particles do communicate instantaneously across space, which is completely incompatible with Relativity. Relativity theory predicts that moving inertial observers will observe each others space contract and time dilate, which is completely contradictory, and shows that its effects on time space can not be real, and must just be describing an optical illusion. This will be true for any theory that depends on it like General Relativity.

Bohr, the only physicist that could beat Einstein

Brother I have a query about the polarisation of light ?

[michaelbenedict]

can u suggest a good book for general theory of relativity ??
