How quantum mechanics emerged 1900–1927 and the Bohr–Einstein fight that defined the field, from the 1927 Solvay Conference through EPR (1935) to Bell's theorem (1964). You cannot understand any modern debate without knowing this story.

done when you can

Explain what the EPR argument (1935) was really after — it wasn't what Einstein wanted.Say what the 1927 Solvay conference mattered for and why Bohr "won" the narrative.Explain what happened to Bohm (blacklisted) and Everett (left physics).State Bell's theorem (1964) and what it actually proves vs. what it doesn't.Articulate why "measurement problem" is not solved by saying "consciousness collapses the wave function."
