What if the man everyone says was "wrong" about quantum mechanics was actually the only one who saw the real problem?
Einstein didn't just say "God doesn't play dice." He made a precise, devastating argument that exposed a crack at the foundation of quantum physics — a gap that's still there. The textbooks don't tell you this part.
In this video, we walk through Einstein's actual EPR argument, explain why John Bell's 1964 theorem turned it into a testable prediction, and reveal how the experiments confirmed the very thing Einstein called "absurd" — quantum entanglement — is real. Based on ideas from Feynman's The Character of Physical Law (1965) and his Lectures on Physics, Volume III (1965), as well as Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen's original 1935 paper.
