EPR (1935) and EPR-B

Abstract: Abstract Einstein had hurled two javelins (of the nonlethal, gedanken variety) at the uncertainty principle, a central feature of the Copenhagen Interpretation: (1) the Suspended Mask experiment and (2) the photon box experiment. To his consternation, both had glanced off the armor of the CI. To all intents and purposes, the body of concepts that constituted the CI was, not merely unscathed, but growing in strength and credibility as time passed. A lengthening history of successful application of the mathematical tools of quantum mechanics to practical problems, coupled with the persistent failure of critics to uncover inconsistencies in the underlying doctrine, added to the luster and reputation of the CI. If there was something wrong with the doctrine, why did it work so well in practice and why had he failed to pinpoint a flaw?
