Why did Einstein not like the idea of quantum physics?
Answers
Answer:
Einstein didn't totally oppose quantum mechanics. He was not just sure about it's completeness. Basically what Einstein thought about nature was that 2 basic principles should always be followed by any object in the Universe.
The principles were Realism and Locality.
Realism states that there is an object somewhere in this whole Universe and it is there even though we are not looking at it. That is its position and that's it. It doesn't matter if don't get a glimpse at it but it exists there and that is it's position.
Locality is something about the relation or effects that a particle can cause on some other particle. Einstein believed that if there are two particles at two different ends of the Universe (obviously Universe has no end but hypothetically speaking about some far away objects ) then if we change the position or any other property of one particle then the other would not know unless some signal is passed in some way to the other particle. And that is where the quantum mechanics said something different. According to the people who opposed Einstein some signals did pass and made some affect on the other particle.
The particles had to be entangled according to Einstein and as proposed by him he just didn't get the idea of 'how' these particles located soooo... far away can be 'entangled'.
Other scientist believed in the probabilities and the calculations they did but Einstein did not. That was when he quoted the line "God does not roll dice".
He believed there had to be something more complete about the relation between objects and not just mere probabilities.
Hope it helps..
P.S. That's the longest I have ever written on this app.
