what did Einstein,Podolski and Rosen say about quantum physics as a description of nature?
The EPR paradox is a thought experiment proposed by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolski, and Nathan Rosen in 1935 to question the completeness and accuracy of quantum mechanics. It involves two entangled particles and the concept of "spooky action at a distance."
The EPR paradox highlights the tension between quantum mechanics and classical physics, and raises questions about the nature of reality and the limitations of our current understanding of the universe.
The EPR paradox challenges the principle of locality, which states that objects can only be influenced by their immediate surroundings. It also challenges the principle of realism, which suggests that objects have definite properties even when they are not being measured.
The EPR paradox has not been definitively resolved, but many scientists have proposed theories and experiments to try and reconcile the paradox with our current understanding of quantum mechanics.
The EPR paradox has led to further research and discoveries in quantum entanglement, quantum teleportation, and quantum cryptography. It also highlights the need for a more comprehensive theory that can fully explain the behavior of particles at the quantum level.
