The Quantum Theory

The quantum theory is the concept that energy is absorbed in a small pocket called a quantum, which in some situations behaves as particles of matter do. While particles, when in motion, exhibit certain wavelike properties. The quantum theory proposed a dual nature for particles and waves, with one aspect predominating in some situations and the other aspect predominating in other situations. This theory posed great conflict within the scientific community.
One of the biggest conflicts were between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Einstein believed that objective reality should extend to the quantum level while Bohr insisted that his interpretation of the quantum theory was complete. Bohr, Heisenberg, and Pauli's claim that they had constructed a "consistent account of the atomic world (263)" is refuted by the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen Paradox. Through a series of thought experiments the three
