      Inam Ul Haq I don't think Niels Bohr was Jewish. I've red his biography and got a sense that he was an atheist. Also I must note Einstein's belief that the quantum world was pre-determined, was due to him believing in God, while Bohr's theory predicted it was randomness, meaning nothing is pre-deterministic hence thre is no higher power.

    Uncertainty principle is like taking a photo:
    You can (with short exposure) see the object clearly where it is, but you have no idea whether it was moving.
    Or you can (with long exposure) see a smudge on the photo, the longer it is (given the same exposure), the faster it was moving, but you can't see the object distinctly in any position.
    I know the analogy is quite far from the real quantum stuff of Heisenberg's principle, but it's close enough for the laymen we are

      We can apply this to climate science, also. If anyone says he knows (even roughly) what the average Earth temp will be in a decade, he is either lying, or a fool. We can go further, if he says he knowsall about the climate system, or even enough to make a prediction, or even on Earth's climate sensitivity (to CO2), or the end result of feedbacks.
      Any yet...climate scientists and physicists can't go a month without making this stuff up. And they get away with it because of the political climate.

This was against Einstein’s intuition, but Bohr and others eventually proved it was correct. While Einstein was right about a great many things, he was wrong about QM. I like to think however, that were he alive today, he would be quietly pleased that someone proved him wrong.

      Einstein was also one of the people to develop quantum mechanics (His paper on the photoelectric effect). His problem with quantum mechanics was entirely due to his belief in things like energy conservation, momentum conservation, among others. A weaker mind would abandon these concepts when it comes to quantum mechanics, whereas Einstein tried to reconsile the two… Hence his objections.

You also fail to understand that quanta are not a natural state and neither are so-called physical constants. How are they achieved? For you, the cause is magic. For me, it takes a force that is energy to enforce quantization and constants in systems. It takes a regulator. If you cannot find the enforcer/regulator of the quanta system and constants, then you don't have a grasp of the system or there is no quanta or constant. 1800s physical constants are not natural things, they are placeholders to equivalence equations and define behaviors with improper and incomplete equations.

      Good God! I cannot accept that. Picasso - really? Not at all a worthwhile selection. I have nothing against Picasso, but when season one is Einstein, season two cannot be Pablo; the bar is just too high. Feynman! Now there would be a good series! Such an enjoyable one, too; a true genius with such a story, so many pranks and asides and so much good humor.

      You think that Picasso is superior to tesla?

      Christopher Donaghue It looks like Nat Geo wants to make series with all fields, not just science. It's a good idea for reaching a greater audience.

      Lot's of great (silent) movies were made in the 1920s and even earlier.

    I think Einstein was wrong about the car incidence.
    The driver observed Einstein and Bohr, therefore they existed and he could knock them over. People around observed Einstein, Bohr and the car, hence the three parties existed. Einstein and Bohr failed to observe the car, but the car existed because interacting parties observed it.
    So it is an entire network of observation.

      Thanks, i think that can be the reason

      Thierry M But the same outcome could have occurred if the car was in the middle of nowhere with no one there to observe it.

      To simplify it, what happens at quantum levels can not be compared with macroscopic events
