Description
The controversy between Einstein and Bohr about quantum
mechanics is a classic. On the one hand, Einstein rejected it because of its
unpredictable essence, while Bohr had no trouble accepting the limits
imposed by Nature on human knowledge, being happy with just a statistical
description. Time has passed, and quantum mechanics works beyond any
reasonable doubt. That possibly means that Bohr's world vision was right
and we should abandon Einstein's idea of Nature working as a deterministic
clock's machinery. However, despite the success of the quantum theory,
some of its implications still seem absurd, while the world shows a more and
more mathematical essence, just as Einstein thought. In this paper, Einstein's
point is defended in the light of the resemblance between Mathematics and
the natural world.
