Description

Albert Einstein hated quantum mechanics. He called it "spooky action at a distance" and spent decades trying to prove it was wrong. 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.
