Haven’t we actually established that God DOES in fact play dice, that Niels Bohr was right, and that Einstein was wrong?

- Symmetry 3y agoNot according to Everett and about half of practicing physicists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation
- joshjob42 3y agoYou can also throw in the Bohmians, since you can express at least non-relativistic QM in purely deterministic terms akin to stat mech (it's purely classical uncertainty about your position in configuration space, and there are stat-mech-like arguments for why that distribution should be very close to the Born distribution). Personally I don't know all that many physicists who think the universe is fundamentally stochastic (I work in quantum information).
- eigenket 3y agoNo, in fact I would say almost the exact opposite. Einstein's famous quote was expressing his distaste for the "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics. Among people who seriously think about interpretations of quantum mechanics, many (but not all) think that there are serious flaws with the Copenhagen interpretation.
