Historic Dispute : in His Classic Debate with Albert Einstein, Was Niels Bohr Correct in His Approach to Interpreting the World in Light of the Newly Discovered Field of Quantum Mechanics?
Viewpoint: Yes, Bohr's interpretation of the world in light of quantum mechanics was correct, and new applications of his interpretation are being determined with the passage of time.
Viewpoint: No, while the physics community came to accept the arguments of Bohr, some of the questions raised by Einstein remained unsatisfactorily resolved.
One of the great triumphs of human thought was Isaac Newton's formulation of his laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation. These laws laid the foundation for the development of classical mechanics, the branch of physics that describes the motion of slowly moving objects under the influence of external forces. An "object" might be a ball rolling down a hill, or the Moon orbiting Earth.The power of Newton's laws was that they were predictive: given an object of known mass and velocity, and given an environment such as an inclined surface or a gravitational field, it was possible to predict the subsequent motion of that object. Continuing refinement of the methods and techniques used to solve classical mechanical problems led to highly precise predictions of motions.
