The Einstein–Rosen Bridge and the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen Argument: Singularities and Separability

Abstract

In 1935 Einstein pursued two main paths separately: the Einstein–Rosen (ER) bridge theory and the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) argument. In this paper, I deal with the static two-particle problem in general relativity and relationship of this problem with the two projects on which Einstein worked in parallel. I discuss two questions: What was the possible role played by the static two-body problem in the rise and fall of the ER bridge theory? What was the possible role played by the static two-body problem in Einstein’s formulations of the EPR argument? Finally, I also briefly discuss a possible link between Einstein’s work on EPR and the ER bridge.
