Perhaps the most famous of these was his insistence that God does not"play dice with the world," by which he meant that he disagreed with a basic tenet of quantum mechanics holding that reality is governed by randomness and uncertainty at the atomic level, though many have read it instead as an expression of religious faith.
"We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly," Einstein said on another occasion."Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations." Although Einstein sometimes spoke of God, the bulk of the evidence suggests that he did not mean it in a literal sense."A lot of physicists do this," philosopher Rebecca Goldstein said in an interview with thein December 2018."It misleads people into thinking they’re theists, they believe in God.
