How a 10-Nanosecond Switch Proved Einstein Wrong About Reality

At the 1927 Solvay Conference, Einstein's attempt to kill the uncertainty principle was laughed off by Bohr's camp—yet that same 'spooky' idea won a Nobel in 2022. At the 1927 Solvay Conference, Niels Bohr defended the Copenhagen interpretation—reality is created by measurement—against Albert Einstein's insistence on a local, independent universe. Einstein devised a thought experiment to bypass the uncertainty principle, but Bohr refuted it by realizing the slit itself behaves quantumly.
