Clickbait From 1935 (And Yes This is Science Related)

I found this one while researching for my latest post and just had to share it. I hope it brings a smile to your face.

Even back in 1935 newspapers wrote 'click-baity' titles for their articles to draw in their readers.

This one was in the New York Times and tries to make Einstein's issues with Quantum Mechanics seem dramatic.

The two colleagues are Podolsky and Rosen and the paper the three of them wrote together is often called the EPR paradox.

They figured that if two particles emerged from a process and were entangled then you could measure the position of one with high accuracy and the momentum of the other with high accuracy and thereby derive the position and momentum of both particles with high accuracy.

They asserted that this would prove the uncertainty principle wrong and thus disprove that aspect of quantum mechanics.

They were wrong.
