Quote of the Day by Einstein: Over 85 years after it began, the Einstein-Bohr debate remains the most consequential intellectual rivalry in modern science — one that shaped quantum mechanics, redefined human understanding of reality, and produced two Nobel Prize winners who genuinely admired each other.
