In the Bohr vs Einstein debate, Bohr is one of the founders of quantum mechanics and it is considered to be the probabilistic nature of the predictions of this theory to be fundamental. Einstein however, showed proof that quantum theory was incomplete and that it was misplaced to take into account certain aspects to reality. Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen all tested the quantum of physics. They then found out that Einstein and Bohr’s tests led to be different predictions. For Einstein, he discovered that if both particles had similar properties when measured, it was because they had acquired these properties during their initial interaction. The argument was that the laws of quantum mechanics allow the formation of pairs of entangled particles that interacted in the past before becoming separated and measured the properties of one particle, which makes it possible to know the properties of the other one right away.
