![]() ![]() The debates represent one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory, quantum nonlocality, which is central to our modern understanding of the physical world. Despite their differences of opinion and the succeeding discoveries that helped solidify quantum mechanics, Bohr and Einstein maintained a mutual admiration that was to last the rest of their lives. Based on the article, the philosophical issue of the debate was whether Bohr's Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which centered on his belief of complementarity, was valid in explaining nature. ![]() On Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics". ![]() Most of Bohr's version of the events held in Solvay in 1927 and other places was first written by Bohr decades later in an article titled, "Discussions with Einstein ![]() Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science, insofar as the disagreements-and the outcome of Bohr's version of quantum mechanics becoming the prevalent view-form the root of the modern understanding of physics. The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr.
