Referring To God
In a 1926 letter to colleague Max Born, theoretical physicist Albert Einstein wrote:
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the 'old one'. I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.
This quotation is often paraphrased as "God does not play dice".
