Jed settles Einstein-Bohr theological debate on the implications of quantum physics

“You were both right” …

Einstein: “God doesn’t play dice with the universe.” (comment to Neils Bohr on his initial impressions of quantum physics)

Bohr: “Stop telling God what to do with his dice.”

Anderson: “God does indeed play dice with the universe … He just knows all the outcomes.”

Slide-Deck from yesterday’s presentation “Protecting Its with Bits” about using technology that harnesses probability to protect nature (click here)

I again would highly recommend some basic familiarity with quantum physics and quantum computing. Just watching these 2 videos is really enough for you to understand what is happening: 1. Google/Nasa Video 2. PBS/Nova Video
