ABSTRACT
The debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein concerning the interpretation of quantum mechanics extended from the fifth Solvay Conference in 1927 until the end of Einstein's life. The physical question in the debate between Bohr and Einstein was thus answered in favor of Bohr. It should be said that there are some loopholes in the experiments performed so far, which have kept alive the hopes of dedicated advocates of local hidden variables theories. Einstein's fundamental philosophical thesis that the physical world has an existence independent of human knowledge is preserved by this generalization, even though there is obviously a retrenchment from some of his characterizations of physical reality. Furthermore, it is argued in this chapter that the experimental results do not support the most radical of Bohr's philosophical innovations, and therefore other considerations are needed in order to assess his philosophy.
