With his 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect and light quanta, Einstein started the quantum revolution. As time went on, however, he became less and less comfortable with some of the strange implications of the new quantum theory. Learn about some of these implications, and the dead-end paths that Einstein pursued in his attempts to avoid accepting the quantum nature of our world. This video is episode eight from the series What Einstein Got Wrong, presented by Dan Hooper.
