the October 1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons


Fifth Conference[edit]

Perhaps the most famous conference was the October 1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons, where the world's most notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Einstein, disenchanted with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, remarked "God does not play dice". Bohr replied, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do". (See Bohr–Einstein debates.) 17 of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners, includingMarie Curie, who alone among them, had won Nobel Prizes in two separate scientific disciplines.[2]

This conference was also the culmination of the struggle between Einstein and the scientific realists, who wanted strict rules of scientific method as laid out by Charles Peirce andKarl Popper, versus Bohr and the instrumentalists, who wanted looser rules based on outcomes. Starting at this point, the instrumentalists won, instrumentalism having been seen as the norm ever since,[3] although the debate has been actively continued by the likes of Alan Musgrave.

第五次索爾維會議[編輯]

可能最著名的一次索爾維會議是1927年10月召開的第五次索爾維會議。此次會議主題為「電子光子」,世界上最主要的物理學家聚在一起討論新近表述的量子理論。會議上最出眾的角色是愛因斯坦尼爾斯·波耳。前者以「上帝不會擲骰子」的觀點反對海森堡不確定性原理,而波耳反駁道,「愛因斯坦,不要告訴上帝怎麼做」——這一爭論被稱為波耳-愛因斯坦論戰。參加這次會議的二十九人中有十七人獲得或後來獲得諾貝爾獎
