I just want to give a shout out to and for helping to advance humanity's understanding of particle physics. Keep smashing things! The work you and your team does is invaluable for our deeper understanding of the universe and quantum mechanics (Bohr won).

(One of the interesting things that happened during the 1927 Solvay Conference was that Einstein and Bohr would challenge each other -- more so Einstein challenging Bohr each morning and Bohr would come back by the end of the day with a solid rebuttal.) Einstein always had ...

issues with quantum interpretations of reality and much of Bohr's work rattled him to the core. In the end though, Bohr was vindicated and we now know that things like quantum entanglement is an actual thing that does happen.

One of Einstein's most famous papers came out of Yale in 1934/1935. He worked with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen and published a paper that eluded to (at the time) the incompleteness of quantum mechanics.

It wasn't until 1964 that John Stewart Bell wrote a paper addressed the EPR paradox. This amazing paper almost went unnoticed until it was discovered years later by another physicist by the name of Henry Stapp.

I sincerely hope that we are able to to come up with a more unified theory that combines quantum mechanic with relativity in my lifetime (sometime in the next 40-50 years). Understanding how gravity and quantum world interact will be extremely interesting.
