I hardly think that Albert would have used such flowery language!
Quoting what the Great Man really said would be much more illuminating

Yes the language is very flowery. But said something similar to this . I don't know exactly what he said .
When you find out exactly what Albert said, perhaps you will supply us with an accurate quote.
Einstein's most revolutionary contribution to Physics was realising that light was not a wave, but a collection of "light quanta". It was the one thing that was specifically referred to in his 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics citation.
Einstein's important contribution to quantum theory is often overlooked as he found the probabalistic nature of quantum theory a step too far for him.
Translated from the German, here's what Einstein said to Max Born in 1926:
This is often shortened to, "God does not play dice with the universe".
We tend to remember Einstein for the theory he liked best - the one on relativity. However relativity was very much a part of the ongoing work being undertaken by the scientific community. His work on the quantisation of light was the truly radical innovation.

It's interesting to note that Einstein actually applied probabilities when describing the absorption and emission of light quanta by atoms.
He introduced the previously unconsidered process of stimulated emission where an excited atom which is exposed to light will be stimulated to emit more light of the same frequency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_coefficients
This planted the seeds that led to the invention of the LASER (Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation).
Even on departing from the field, Einstein left us with the 1935 "EPR" paper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox which provided one of the first clear examples of what is now known as "quantum entanglement". This provided the foundation for revolutionary work on quantum theory and quantum information technology.
So Einstein may not have been entirely convinced by quantum theory, but he was highly influential in the quantum physics field.

Einstein be like i have probability i need definate answers . Galu be like i hate probability i need definite answers .☻
So that's it? My chihuahua has bigger balls than that! AND he's neutered!
SHEESH!
Einstein, Shmeinstein!
SHEESH!

Apparently, Einstein was fond of animals and enjoyed the company of cats and dogs.

Perhaps, Pete, you have the balls to teach your dog about quantum physics! 😀

I saw a poster once with a picture of the elderly Albert Einstein, smiling, and the caption was ' I never said half the ******** people claim I did'
Hmm. Looks like the forum posted my response to a much earlier post by another member much later than I was anticipating. Since it is now completely out of context, it really is a 'Ha ha'
