einstein-podolsky-rosen (epr) paradox and hidden variables

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox is a thought experiment that challenges the concept of quantum mechanics. It suggests that certain properties of particles can be connected regardless of distance, defying the limits of Einstein's theory of relativity. The paradox raises questions about whether quantum mechanics is complete and whether "hidden variables" exist, referring to unknown properties that determine the outcomes of quantum events. Hidden variables theories propose that the unpredictability of quantum mechanics could arise from unobserved factors influencing the behavior of particles.
