In 1927, Einstein used a variant of the double slit experiment – at that time only a thought experiment – to argue that quantum mechanics are wrong. Up until recently, researchers have been unable to fully disprove his claims. Now, though, a group of physicists from MIT claim they’ve proven that Einstein was wrong about quantum physics by actually carrying out the experiment. Let’s take a look.
