Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 2628600, member: 7631"] As far as I know, Einstein didn't not embrace quantum theory, he didn't like one aspect of some interpretations of quantum theory. In fact, Einstein's Nobel Prize was for the theory of an experiment that was one of the foundations of quantum mechanics. As far as I know, the thing he didn't like was the idea espoused by some that everything is in an unknown (superposition or entangled) state till it's observed/measured. Whence his comment, "I don't think God plays dice with the universe." (or something like that) His view was shared by many of his contemporaries. This divergence of interpretations is the basis of the play "Copenhagen." David Wineland, whom I mentioned above, experimentally verified that Einstein was wrong, but that wasn't till this century, and he got a Nobel Prize for it. As I said, this is all as far as I can remember, if there's something that I'm missing, I'm happy to be corrected. [/QUOTE]
