Why Did Einstein Hate Randomness?

The video explores the concept of randomness in quantum mechanics, focusing on Einstein's discomfort with the idea of inherent randomness and quantum entanglement. It explains how quantum entanglement allows particles to affect each other instantaneously over any distance, a phenomenon Einstein referred to as 'spooky action at a distance.' The video discusses hidden variables as a potential explanation and introduces Bell's theorem, which provides a framework for testing these ideas. Experiments have shown that local hidden variables are unlikely to explain quantum entanglement, suggesting that quantum mechanics may indeed involve non-local interactions.
