EPR
Einstein's spooky paper
EPR is an abbreviation with several technical meanings.
In physics, the EPR paradox (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) is a thought experiment challenging quantum mechanics.
In business and government, EPR stands for extended producer responsibility—policies requiring manufacturers to manage products through disposal: The new EPR regulations hold electronics makers accountable for e-waste.
In aviation, EPR is engine pressure ratio, a measure of jet engine thrust.
