The quanta really are a hopeless mess.
(Albert Einstein, On doing Quantum Theory calculations with Wolfgang Pauli)
I
still do not believe that the statistical method of the Quantum Theory
is the last word, but for the time being I am alone in my opinion.
(Albert Einstein, On Quantum Theory, p125 1936)
You
believe in the God who plays dice, and I in complete law and order in a
world which objectively exists, and which I, in a wildly speculative
way, am trying to capture. I firmly believe, but I hope that someone
will discover a more realistic way, or rather a more tangible basis
than it has been my lot to find. Even the great initial success of the
Quantum Theory does not make me believe in the fundamental dice-game,
although I am well aware that our younger colleagues interpret this as
a consequence of senility. No doubt the day will come when we will see
whose instinctive attitude was the correct one.
(Albert Einstein to Max
Born, On Quantum Theory, 1944)
