Einstein’s Views on the Determinism of the Indeterminism of Quantum Theory
Fay Dowker, Professor of Theoretical Physics, at Imperial College London, states, in a recording of the BBC Radio Four program, In Our Time, that Einstein said that Heisinger’s Uncertainty Principle and all that it implied, was “our most successful theory”.
Refer here to In Our Time, Heisinger’s Uncertainty Principle, timed at 32.53/54.
According to Google’s AI-sourced information, Einstein said no such thing: see Einstein’s letter to Max Born dated 1926.
None of the three contributors to the program acknowledge that it was Einstein who first proposed the building blocks of the uncertainty principle, as the Scientific American article by George Musser, dated 1 September 2015, attests here:
As he and others have shown, Einstein accepted that quantum mechanics was indeterministic—as well he might, because he was the one who had discovered its indeterminism.
Refer also, to Einstein’s Light Quantum Hypothesis, published in 1905 and his Nobel Prize of 1920.
It is left to the reader to decide whether the BBC program contributors, as well as many theoretical physicists preceding them, knowingly or unknowingly ignored this discovery; whether they used Einstein’s theory to delegitimize it as well as Einstein himself.
It should, however, be mentioned here that Martin Buber and, maybe other Jewish theologians, who wrote later than the Jewish sources of the 1st and 2nd CE and the New Testament is supposed to have been written, unknowingly acknowledged Jesus’s validity.
Einstein, according to the Stanford University’s peer-reviewed Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on Causal Determinism, dated 23 January 2003, substantially revised 21 September 2023, asserted that quantum physics was pre-determined by a causal force.
Einstein’s views about God changed over time and were, furthermore, complex.
His identification as a Jew also changed over time, but it is here asserted that his many approaches reflected and were in tune with, the antimonic nature of Torahic texts by those who could not articulate in words who, what, when, where and why God was and whether he was.
In connection with the antinomic approach of the Torah, it should also be added that, similarly, the Quranic suras express this path.
The New Testament, however, does not.
Interestingly, though Einstein seems to have accepted Spinoza’s theory of God, a Herem was not imposed on him, though some Rabbis still appear to uphold the Rabbinical view of God. Spinoza, however, was subject to just such an imposition.
Finally, it could be said that Einstein and Spinoza’s assertions that God was to be found in nature and its laws were the materialistic proof of the fact that He exists.
