Re: idealism vs materialism



Each one of us should remember the ancient controversy
between Einstein and Bohr about quantum mechanics.
Finally, a lot of physicist reached a conclusion: there was a
difference between philosophical conceptions in these men.

Several years ago (probably in Physics Today or Scientific
American) was published a paper whose title was something like
"Is the moon there when nobody looks?", where the author tell us
about this difference between Einstein and Bohr conceptions.

So if physics would have its own philosophy, where is the border
between this and the other philosophy?
