> Even the greatest minds, such as Einstein, transitioned from disruptor to gatekeeper when quantum mechanics threatened his nostalgic view of the universe
Just watch Veritasium[1] take on this claim. Eistein claimed that QM in Copenhagen interpretation is non-local. Bohr claimed he proved Einstein wrong. And then came Bell and ruled out local hidden variables, proving the QM is non-local, at least in Copenhagen interpretation. Pity neither Einstein nor Bohr lived to that moment, so we can't know what they would say on that.
But in any case Einstein was right all the time.
Did Einstein ever say that QM is non local, and therefore it is wrong? The discussions around this topic seem to imply this, but I don't know if this happened. Also, AFAIK what Einstein really didn't like, was the idea that, at a fundamentals level, our reality isn't deterministic. This is at odds with our everyday experience, but it seems to have been confirmed by experiments. So maybe focusing on what their thoughts about locality were could be missing the forest for the tree.
