1927 Solvay Conference of Realism vs Quantum

Einstein believed that God gave us a universe of common sense reality and that we would find the one common theory that made sense of everything. Einstein believed in Realism, and to the very end, he wanted to find the Theory of Everything.

Bohr, on the other hand, believed in a new theory of Quantum Mechanics, that our universe was like Alice in Wonderland and that Quantum Entanglement did not care at all about space and time.

Einstein believed that everything is separated by space and time and he found comfort in the limit of the speed of light. Bohr thought the universe behaves differently when observed and that entangled objects can be any distance apart. Throw a pair of entangled dice, and they both end up with the same number even if one of the dice is in the Andromeda galaxy and the other is in the Milky Way Galaxy. Bohr believed we live in a world of Alice in Wonderland or what we now call Simulated Reality.

So we had two opposing theories: The Theory of Relativity from Einstein and Quantum Theory from Bohr. Only scientific experiment could…
