The clash between Albert Einstein and the pioneers of quantum mechanics was one of the most electrifying intellectual battles in scientific history.Einstein, the architect of relativity, could not accept the role of pure randomness at the heart of nature. When Werner Heisenberg unveiled his Uncertainty Principle in 1927—revealing that certain pairs of properties, like position and momentum, cannot be known simultaneously with perfect precision—Einstein pushed back hard. To him, the universe operated by deep, hidden deterministic laws waiting to be uncovered. Chance? It felt like an incomplete theory, a puzzle with missing pieces.His famous retort—“God does not play dice”—wasn't about religion; it was a passionate defense of an orderly, predictable cosmos. Heisenberg's principle wasn't a limitation of our tools—it was baked into the fabric of reality itself. The more precisely you pin down a particle's position, the more its momentum blurs into uncertainty... Niels Bohr, the champion of the Copenhagen interpretation, stood firm against Einstein's objections. Their exchanges—sharp, personal, and brilliant—reached iconic status during the famous Solvay Conferences, especially in 1927 and 1930, where the greatest minds of physics gathered. Bohr's legendary comeback to Einstein? “Stop telling God what to do.” For Bohr, nature had no obligation to conform to human intuitions of certainty—probability was fundamental.The debate raged for years, forcing physics to confront profound questions: Is reality deterministic beneath the quantum haze, or does chance rule at the deepest level? Countless experiments since—from Bell tests to quantum entanglement demonstrations—have repeatedly confirmed the “weird” predictions of quantum mechanics, upholding uncertainty and non-locality.Yet the true power of this story lies beyond equations. It shows that even titans like Einstein can wrestle passionately with uncomfortable truths. Scientific progress often springs from fierce disagreement, from the courage to question everything. The universe didn't bend to their arguments—but our grasp of it deepened forever because of them.A timeless reminder: sometimes the greatest insights emerge not from tidy certainty, but from bold, unrelenting doubt.

.@GabeforColorado I urge you to cosponsor the Medicare Patient Access & Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 875). This bipartisan bill will eliminate the 2.8% cut to providers and provide much-needed inflationary updates. #PTAdvocacy

Introducing……..

Smarts. Humor. Intellectual humility. Jumbo’s got it! @TuftsDPT @TuftsMedSchool

I feel fortunate to be able to work a special group of people.

Giving thanks to @TTChilders for all the music. This year I couldn't stop listening to Feathered Indians. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/13ZE…

.@SenatorHick @SenatorBennet @RepCaraveoMD Congress must act! Stop harmful Medicare cuts to physical therapy #FightTheCut

October is #NationalPTMonth! Hear from @TuftsDPT -SEA Program Director, @papaevanPT about their inspiring journey into this incredible field. Get ready to be inspired & celebrate the impact of physical therapy on people’s lives! #ValueofPT youtu.be/eWlBkAu_KtI?si=D-6V… via @YouTube

Take a look at this important report and milestone in demonstrating the economic value of physical therapist services!

.@RepDianaDeGette Please co-sponsor the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act (H.R. 2480) #FAS2023 #PTAdvocacy

We’re looking for skilled clinicians to join our adjunct faculty @TuftsDPT Seattle. Retweets and shares appreciated: apply.interfolio.com/127961 @BobbyHandPT @kescaff @APTAWashington @scattonesilva @twinmomplus @mattcurrierPT @HoboHealth @DJGPedsPT @neonatalPT @nixedpt @HaseelBhattPT

Of course we should assess assessment. But the Director of the Programmatic Assessment Office won’t approve any of the proposed rubrics we send over! She said “Trust us. We just know it works.”

1. BMI does not measure body fat distribution 2. Not a good measure of body fat 3. BMI does not provide any insights into the heterogeneity of obesity or its origins No single measure tells us the entire story of a patients lifestyle/activity & health behaviors @lauradavisson

Thank you @AlarcosC for your leadership on this critical resolution from #WHA76

Vision and impact. ⁦@DunnSdunn2⁩ and the ⁦@APTAtweets⁩ board sought to kick off our next century by adding a public member to our leadership on the board. ⁦@crismassis⁩ serves that role at the highest level. Vision and impact for PT & APTA!

Look at this crew! @billypt
