Step into the mind of Nobel laureate Alain Aspect, one of the pioneers who turned quantum weirdness into experimental reality. In this conversation with Brian Greene, Aspect retraces the century-long quest to understand quantum entanglement, nonlocality, and Bell’s theorem—ideas that shattered classical physics and redefined reality itself. Winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, Aspect’s groundbreaking experiments proved that Einstein was wrong. Here, he reveals how that discovery shattered classical intuition and redefined what “reality” means.
