Niels Bohr Vs. Albert Einstein


A newspaper clipping from 1949. Around Einsteins 70th birthday, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein did a radio show together and this clipping was giving the reader a kind of play by play of what was said. Einstein and Bohr had a long history of good-natured arguments over parts of physics that I cannot even begin to understand. Something about Einstein preferring the determinism of classical physics over the probabilistic new quantum physics. Like I said, no idea. It was very interesting to look up Niels Bohr, I am sorry to say I knew very little about him. Who knew blogging could be so educational.
