There are often voices on the Internet that Einstein tried his best to oppose quantum mechanics. The debate is about who is right and who is wrong between classical physics and quantum mechanics. It is a question of self and no other. In fact, this is a serious misunderstanding. .

Some people with ulterior motives even argue that the debate is about whether there is a God or not, and that the end of science is theology. This is pure nonsense. Their anti-intellectual and anti-scientific ignorance is pitiful and laughable.

In fact, both parties in the debate are master scientists and the founders of quantum mechanics. The focus of their debate is not whether the general category of quantum mechanics is correct or not, but the debate about some weird characteristics of microscopic particle phenomena in the field of quantum mechanics.

So what is the specific process of this battle of scientific theories, known as the dispute of the century, and who will win in the end? Let’s review this period of history and see the style of these masters of science.

What is the Copenhagen Interpretation?

In the 1920s and 1930s, quantum mechanics emerged. A group of scientists, represented by Bohr and Heisenberg, came up with some brand-new theories after studying the novel quantum properties discovered, because this theory was developed in Copenhagen. It was developed and therefore called the Copenhagen Interpretation.

The scientists who researched and introduced these theories are called the Copenhagen School. The main core figures of this school include Born, Heisenberg, Pauli and Dirac.

Some of the most important core contents of the Copenhagen Interpretation are:

1. The quantum state of a quantum system can be completely described by a wave function, but this description is probabilistic. This probability is the square of the absolute value of the wave function;

2. In a quantum system, the position and momentum of a particle cannot be determined at the same time. This is the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics;

3. Matter has wave-particle duality, and experiments cannot show two behaviors of matter at the same time, namely particle nature or wave nature;

4. All measuring instruments are classical instruments and can be used to measure classical material properties. However, in the quantum world, measurement will change the behavior and state of particles, so it is impossible to accurately measure the position and momentum of particles at the same time.

In layman's terms, one of the biggest controversies among these theories is the uncertainty principle of the quantum world and the over-distance effect of quantum entanglement.
