What did he mean by this?

>>8844537
He didn't like the probabilistic nature of QM. Hence his quip.

>the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics make me uncomfortable

The worst part is that this necessitates his belive in a god.

>>8844539
I guess one way to put is that he didn't agree with the idea of probability and chance

>>8844546
In German, god is often used to mean the universe or "creation" itself. Don't overrate his usage of the word.

It was metaphorical. He was more a deist and said his idea of god was kinda like spinoza

Wrong. God means God in all languages. You are stupid.

Maybe that god has no dice so he can't play with it ;)
or he means (subconsciously) that humans will try to understand and explain everything they see so long until all this knowldege seems to be determined by the universe, but in reality it only is out of the viewpoint of humans that think they know more than they do

>>8844546
The sentence could be interpreted as "If there is something truly random, it is a proof god does not exist"
It doesn't mean that a deterministic universe proves god exists. It's an implication, not an equivalence

no, its >>8844539
he was arguing with niels bohr about QM and bohr told einstein to stop telling god what to do

he means the universe is deterministic

QM probabilities don't matter for the in/determinism discussion anyway. Nature could be superdeterministic. It's not really a question that can even be answered.

Atheists BTFO

He means "all the entire matter, and forces greater than us and unbeknown to us, encompassing all of the universe, and all chains of actions there are" and he uses the word god as a short description so lots of people understand it at least partially
