Your Right Ψ it's 4AM here, Sorrry I forgot the Universe it's so easy to do!!

Answer 1

Nils Bohr said God does [play dice with the world]. Who knows? What both were referring to was the element of chance within the definite, mathematical structures of reality.

Personally, I think that biology is dependent upon there being an element of chance or randomness in the universe. I think Chaos Theory also points to the fact that you can have predictive results without having absolute certainty. So I lean more towards Bohr than Einstein, I guess. But even Einstein wasn't so sure of his determinism at the end.

Ace of Spades? I don't know, lol.

Peace to you.

Answer 2

Einstein didn't like the idea that something like an electron could exist as a cloud of probability spread out around the nucleus instead of being a particle in a specific location, but just because that idea didn't appeal to his sensibilities doesn't mean it was incorrect. Our understanding of the sub-atomic world does in fact show that particles behave this way, and it's because of this weird behavior that we have things like transistors, diodes, lasers and computers. If God didn't play dice, those things wouldn't work.

Answer 3

In his statement, Einstein was being metaphorical, concluding from his research that the complexity of processes in the universe defies current explanations, and that the argument that chance, a throw of the dice, was the determining factor, was ludicrous. In other words, that which he calls ‘God’ is better understood as the element lacking in the our current understanding of what occurs in the known universe, and mankind’s history of religion provides an apt metaphor for that which we do not know or understand, for we cannot ascribe what we do not know to something that we do not understand and therefore cannot name. Einstein simply put that idea tersely by using the two notions, ‘dice’ and ‘God’ to illustrate the concept, to help our understanding.

I happen to think that he is correct. There is much that we do not know, but chance and/or coincidence is not a good explanation in my view.

Respect.

Answer 4

As pointed out above, this was an issue of sensibilities. I would also point out that Einstein was attacked by both the synagogue and Christianity since Einstein's god was Spinoza's god and not a theistic god.

Answer 5

Hahahahaa. At least we know Einstein was speaking metaphorically.

Answer 6

I think, therefore I am. I am, therefore I think. One of those two I think.
