Einstein rejected quantum mechanics from "summary" of Albert Einstein by Walter Isaacson
Einstein's rejection of quantum mechanics stemmed from his belief that it was an incomplete theory. He was uncomfortable with the idea that the behavior of particles at the subatomic level could be governed by probability rather than determinism. This clashed with his deep-seated conviction that the universe was governed by strict laws that could be understood through reason and logic. For Einstein, the randomness inherent in quantum mechanics was at odds with his philosophical stance on the nature of reality. He famously remarked that "God does not play dice with the universe," expressing his disdain for the probabilistic nature of quantum theory. He sought a more elegant and deterministic explanation for the phenomena observed at the atomic level. Einstein's objections to quantum mechanics were also rooted in his dissatisfaction with its implications for causality. He believed that the theory allowed for instantaneous action a...
