We hear a lot of Einstein on quantum physics. Did Bohr ever say what he thought of relativity?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The story about the photon scale comes to mind, and his response to "God doesn't play dice."
At least they were in contact until Einstein passed away, so they must have debated a lot.
 
I looked on the web but couldn't find anything. Only Einstein's criticisms of QM, and Bohr's replies to them.
 
In this case, I think that the absence of evidence is properly understood as evidence of absence: Bohr had no unusual concerns about special relativity.
