=== The Unfinished Quantum Description === Quantum theory describes the behavior of tiny particles like electrons. It uses "wave functions" to predict outcomes of experiments. But does the wave function give a complete description of reality? Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen said no. They argued quantum theory is incomplete. Some related key questions: - Is quantum theory correct in its predictions? - Does it fully describe reality? - What are the basic elements of physical reality? To call a description complete, they said every element of reality needs a counterpart in the theory. But strange quantum effects seem to defy a common sense view of reality.
