Part 4/11:
This notion that light functions as both a wave and a particle became even more pronounced with Albert Einstein's seminal contributions. In 1905, he proposed a revolutionary theory explaining the photoelectric effect. By suggesting light consists of tiny particles that possess quantifiable energy, Einstein transformed our understanding.
However, as the 20th century unfolded, a monumental battle emerged between two scientific titans—Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their conflicts traversed the heart of quantum mechanics, revolving around the nature of reality itself. Bohr celebrated the bizarre truths of probabilistic quantum mechanics, while Einstein staunchly denied the notion of an uncertain reality.
