Brownian motion confirmed atoms' existence through pollen's erratic movement
What Einstein's 1905 photoelectric effect paper showed — light comes in discrete quanta, not continuous waves
Einstein's 1905 paper demonstrated light as quantized energy packets, not continuous waves
What the EPR paradox challenged — Einstein argued entanglement implied either hidden variables or nonlocality
EPR paradox questioned quantum mechanics' lack of locality and determinism
What Maxwell's demon thought experiment challenges — can information be used to decrease entropy
Maxwell's demon challenges the second law of thermodynamics by potentially decreasing entropy using information
What Bell's theorem proved — no local hidden variable theory can reproduce all predictions of quantum mechanics
Bell's theorem disproved local hidden variable theories' ability to match quantum mechanics' predictions
What Anderson localization is — disorder can cause waves to become trapped in a random medium
Anderson localization: Disorder traps waves in a medium due to interference
Why Einstein's photoelectric explanation used Planck's E=hf to predict that higher frequency light ejects faster electrons
Planck's equation E=hf quantifies light energy, explaining higher frequency photons eject electrons more rapidly
