One of the central points in the quantum mechanics is precisely the
uncertainty principle, so I'm a little confused about just how Einstein
could agree with the rest of it, but not the most profound aspect of it.

On Behalf Of Phil Nisbet
Einstein was not opposed to quantum mechanics, he was opposed to the
uncertainty principle which Heisenberg proposed to solve certain problems.
That is the origin of the Dice comment, that G-d did not play craps with the
universe. Even while accepting the general rules hammered out in the famous
1920's conferences, Einstein sought deeper structural therom which woud
provide a uniform framework of all matter and energy and go beyond simple
quantum mechanics.
