  Boris Podolsky Information
Boris Podolsky (Борис Подольский) born 1896, Taganrog, Russia - died 1966, U.S.A), was a Russian physicist.
Working with Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen, he conceived the EPR Paradox, which stimulated debate as to the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
In 1933, Podolsky and Lev Landau conceived the idea to write a textbook of electromagnetism beginning with special relativity and emphasizing theoretical postulates rather than experimental laws.

Boris Podolsky (Борис Подольский) born 1896, Taganrog, Russia - died 1966, U.S.A), was a Russian physicist.
In 1933, Podolsky and Lev Landau conceived the idea to write a textbook of electromagnetism beginning with special relativity and emphasizing theoretical postulates rather than experimental laws.
In the hands of Podolsky and K. Kunz, the outline became "Fundamentals of Electrodynamics" (1969).

Born in the village of Murtino, near the Macedonian town of Strumica, from a Methodist family, Trajkovski graduated in 1980 with a degree in law from the St. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.
Boris Trajkovski is survived by his wife Vilma and their two children, daughter Sara and son Stefan.

Podolsky must renovate the existing 18th- and 19thcentury palace and adjacent historical buildings, and design a new Congress Hall, yacht club, diplomatic village, and two luxury hotels.
Podolsky points out that while in Soviet times the licensing and standards enforced by state regulatory boards were rigid, the system was at least uniform throughout the country.
A decade ago, Podolsky and Lemekhov's clients were the new class of robber barons - former Communist officials and mafia bosses - who were looting the ruins of the Soviet Union and building country mansions.

 The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Argument in Quantum Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Whatever their precursors, the ideas that found their way into EPR were worked out in a series of meetings with Einstein and his two assistants, Podolsky and Rosen.
The actual text, however, was written by Podolsky and, apparently, Einstein did not see the final draft (certainly he did not inspect it) before Podolsky submitted the paper to Physical Review in March of 1935, where it was accepted for publication without changes.
Unfortunately, perhaps due in part to the difficulties presented by Podolsky's text, this is the argument most commonly cited in the physics literature and attributed to EPR themselves.

 The Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox
Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen consider the situation where one could eventually measure the position of one of the quantum entities, let us say entity 2, that flies to the right (while entity 1 flies to the left).
Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen conclude in their paper that this contradiction proves that quantum mechanics is an incomplete theory, in the sense that it cannot represent all elements of reality of a physical entity.
This is a point that has been overlooked by the scientist studying the EPR paper, and also Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen were probably not aware of the 'ex absurdum' status of their proof of incompleteness of quantum mechanics.

 Home EPR effect
In-separability, still called the EPR effect (standing for Einstein Podolski Rosen), is a quantum phenomena.
This means that physical reality either is not subject to the principle of local causation or does not objectively exist independent of the observers who participate in its creation.
Recent theoretical developments in quantum theory known as the EPR effect (named Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen's 1935 paper on the quantum connection between spatially separated systems), now formulated in a theorem by John S. Bell (called Bell's Theorem), allow for the an instantaneous effect between any two places in the physical universe.

 EPR - Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen
Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen opened what is now a 60 year old discussion of correlated multi-particle quantum systems.
The line of argument initiated by EPR was formally updated in 1964 when John Bell showed that the assumption of locality made by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen was itself actually in contradiction with facts predicted by quantum mechanics.
The paradox of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen was advanced as an argument that quantum mechanics could not be a complete theory but should be supplemented by additional variables.

In quantum mechanics, the EPR paradox (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) is a thought experiment which challenged long-held ideas about the relation between, on the one hand the observed values of physical quantities and on the other, the values that can be accounted for by a physical theory.
Actual experimental realizations of the EPR scenario often use the polarization of photon s, because it is easy to prepare and to measure.
We will now introduce two concepts used by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, which are crucial to their attack on quantum mechanics: (i) the elements of physical reality and (ii) the completeness of a physical theory.

 J.S. Bell: First edition, first printing of Bell's refutation of the EPR Paradox
However, it was John Bell who investigated quantum theory in the greatest depth and established what the theory can tell us about the fundamental nature of the physical world.” –Andrew Whitaker, “John Bell and the most profound discovery of science”, Physics World, Dec. 1998.
In 1935, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen published a study concluding that because, in quantum mechanics, every element of physical reality did not have a counterpart in the physical theory, it could not be complete theory or description of nature.
Specifically, the EPR Paradox (as their study became known) argued for the presence of some "hidden variables" in nature that were not recognized by the quantum mechanics.

 Quantum Teleporting, Part 2: Our Holographic Universe - Chuck Missler - Koinonia House
One physicist who was deeply troubled by Bohr's assertions was Albert Einstein.  Despite the role Einstein had played in the founding of quantum theory, he was not pleased with the course the fledgling science had taken.
In 1935 Einstein and his colleagues Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen published their now-famous paper, "Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?"
One factor that contributed to Bohr's following was that quantum physics had proved so spectacularly successful in predicting phenomena, few physicists were willing to even consider the possibility that it might be faulty in some way.  The entire industries of lasers, microelectronics, and computers have emerged on the reliability of the predictions of quantum physics.
