CHAPTER14

The Completeness of Quantum Physics

In This Chapter

  • Einstein’s most famous challenge to the Copenhagen interpretation
  • The prospects of hidden variables
  • Quantum entanglement and its meaning
  • How quantum physics is at odds with relativity

In this chapter, we will continue to dig deeper into the basic question of what quantum physics actually means. We have become familiar with many ways in which this theory challenges traditional understandings of science, reality, and even common sense. Now we will look at some of the ways quantum physics responds to these challenges.

Along the way, we’ll be forced to question whether our ideas of objective ...
