The EPR Paradox

The EPR Paradox, proposed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in 1935, highlights a tension in quantum mechanics. It describes a situation where two particles become entangled, meaning the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of distance. This seems to contradict the idea that information can't travel faster than light. The paradox raises questions about whether quantum mechanics provides a complete description of reality, suggesting that there might be hidden variables we don't yet understand. It challenges our intuition about space, time, and the nature of reality itself.
