A scandal hovers over the history of 20th century physics. Albert Einstein the century s greatest physicist was never able to come to terms with quantum mechanics, the century's greatest theoretical achievement. Einstein was one of the founders of quantum physics and he spent many years preaching the quantum s importance and its revolutionary nature. The Danish genius Neils Bohr was another founder of quantum physics. He had managed to solve one of the few physics problems that Einstein ever shied away from, linking quantum mathematics with a new model of the atom. This leap immediately yielded results that explained electron behavior and the periodic table of the elements.Despite their appreciation about the quantum's importance Einstein and Bohr clashed repeatedly throughout the 1920s. «
