Quote by Albert Einstein

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice

Summary

In this quote, the speaker expresses a sentiment of skepticism towards quantum mechanics while indirectly questioning its completeness. They acknowledge the grandeur of the theory but believe that it falls short in uncovering the true nature of the universe, which they refer to as the 'Old One.' They reject the idea that this 'Old One' leaves things purely to chance or plays dice with reality, expressing their conviction that there must be a deeper understanding beyond what quantum mechanics currently provides.
