In October 1927, the 5th Solvay Conference brought together the greatest scientific minds of the 20th century in Brussels, Belgium. Why it was historic : 29 scientists attended 17 were (or became) Nobel Prize winners. The central topic? “Electrons and Photons” the birth of quantum mechanics. It featured a legendary clash between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr over the nature of reality itself. Einstein: “God does not play dice with the universe.” Bohr: “Stop telling God what to do.” It wasn’t ju
