What is Born's probability interpretation of wave function.
The Born's probability hypothesis was a big milestone in the development of quantum physics. It tried to interpret the wave function developed by Erwin Schrodinger(the Schrodinger's equation is the key principle used in modern quantum mechanics which governs quantum function), which was first thought has probability of charge distributed in the given region, but this was not satisfactory to the quantum picture developed by photelectric effect. So, Born's probability hypothesis stated that the region defined by the wave function might represent probability (density) of finding electron. Which with De Broglie's hypothesis and wave picture was also in sync with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Bur this interpretation was not very welcomed by the father of modern physics Albert Einstein. As he thought the universe is absolute and don't work on probability.
The real beauty of quantum world is that no Newtonian law could be directly applied to the subatomic particles.
