When physicists got their first insights into the quantum world more than a century ago, they found it puzzling to say the least. But gradually, and through clever theoretical and experimental work, a consistent quantum theory emerged. Two physicists that who played crucial roles in this evolution were Albert Einstein and John Bell. In this episode…
