"Ma davvero tu credi che la Luna non sia lì quando nessuno la guarda?", così Albert Einstein espresse tutte le sue perplessità al collega e futuro biografo Abraham Pais. Esse riguardavano i fondamenti della meccanica quantistica, la nuova finestra che i fisici avevano spalancato sul mondo naturale all’inizio del Novecento. Una visione molto lontana dal senso comune, che mette in discussione persino il concetto di realtà oggettiva. Gli interrogativi di Einstein sono uno degli elementi principali del confronto intorno alla meccanica quantistica, a sua volta uno dei dibattiti più elevati e profondi nella storia della cultura umana. La vicenda dei quanti, delle sue stranezze, dei suoi paradossi, della sua estrema precisione, delle sue domande sulla realtà e sull’oggettività ha attraversato tutto il XX secolo. E non ha raggiunto ancora un approdo sicuro. La discussione è più che mai aperta e va di pari passo con i risultati empirici e le straordinarie tecnologie che ha prodotto. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… "Do you really believe that the Moon is not there when no one is looking at it?". Thus Albert Einstein expressed all his perplexities to his colleague and future biographer Abraham Pais. The perplexities concerned the foundations of quantum mechanics, the new window that physicists had opened on the natural world at the beginning of the twentieth century. A vision very far from common sense, which calls into question even the concept of objective reality. Einstein's questions are one of the main elements of the confrontation around quantum mechanics, one of the highest and most profound debates in the history of human culture. The story of the quanta, its oddities, its paradoxes, its extreme precision, its questions about reality and objectivity spanned the entire twentieth century. And it hasn't reached a safe harbor yet. The discussion is more open than ever and goes hand in hand with the empirical results and the extraordinary technologies it has produced.]
