God's Dice

Abstract

Einstein wrote his famous sentence "God does not play dice with the universe" in a letter to Max Born in 1920. All experiments have confirmed that quantum mechanics is neither wrong nor “incomplete”. One can says that God does play dice with the universe. Let quantum mechanics be granted as the rules generalizing all results of playing some imaginary God’s dice. If that is the case, one can ask how God’s dice should look like. God’s dice turns out to be a qubit and thus having the shape of a unit ball. Any item in the universe as well the universe itself is both infinitely many rolls and a single roll of that dice for it has infinitely many “sides”. Thus both the smooth motion of classical physics and the discrete motion introduced in addition by quantum mechanics can be described uniformly correspondingly as an infinite series converges to some limit and as a quantum jump directly into that limit. The second, imaginary dimension of God’s dice corresponds to energy, i.e. to the velocity of information change between two probabilities in both series and jump.

God plays with a quantum die infinite interactions from the arche

Viviana Yaccuzzi Polisena

Albert Einstein once said, “God does not play dice.”In turn, Stephen Hawking said, “not only does God definitely play dice, but He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they cannot be seen.”These quotations indicate fragmentation and dualism. On the one hand, God is an infinite almighty eternal gambler. He is pure energy. On the other hand, there are two classic and solid dice.God does not think of classic dice. There is no separation between the Dice and God. It is a quantum die which has infinite interactions. The game is a Code.A new name for Hugh Everett III’s theory is proposed. This is Infinite Interacting Vibrations. Can we conceive the Divine as a source from which an infinity of vibrations emanate?The universe is vibration. Our vibration is one of the infinite alternatives with a unique dimensional pattern. Each vibration is not the origin nor end of anything, but a fluctuation of the quantum Ether.

The value of Einstein’s mistakes

Ravi V. Gomatam

Steven Weinberg writes, “Einstein rejected the notion that the laws of physics could deal with probabilities, famously decreeing that God does not play dice with the cosmos. But history gave its verdict against Einstein—quantum mechanics went on from success to success, leaving Einstein on the sidelines.”Einstein did not reject quantum theory merely because it is probabilistic. He wrote: “There is no doubt that quantum mechanics has seized hold of a beautiful element of truth, and that it will be a test stone for any future theoretical basis.” 1 1. A. Einstein, quoted in J. Wheeler, W. Zurek, Quantum Theory and Measurement, Princeton U. Press, Princeton, NJ (1983), p. 8. Nor was Einstein unilaterally opposed to God playing dice. He expected God to either play dice all the way or not at all. If individual events were totally undetermined, then the overall events should also be undetermined, and not display remarkable regularity. “In for the penny, in for the pound,” he wrote. Thus, a more accurate quote from Einstein about God and dice playing is the following:“That the Lord should play with dice, all right; but that He should gamble according to definite rules, that is beyond me.” 1 1.

Does God Play Dice?

James E Beecham

One of the most enduring philosophical disputes in physics is encapsulated in a briefexchange between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Einstein objected to quantummechanics by insisting that “God does not play dice with the universe,” while Bohr retortedthat Einstein should “stop telling God what to do.” This exchange is often framed as adisagreement between determinism and randomness. In this paper, we revisit that debatethrough the lens of the Space-Phase-Three (SP3) framework. We argue that SP3 supportsthe empirical reality of quantum uncertainty without invoking fundamental randomness.Instead, uncertainty emerges from observers and matter being embedded within aconditioned, memory-bearing space-phase. From this perspective, neither Einstein norBohr was fully wrong; rather, both were describing different facets of a deeper physicalstructure that neither had access to. In SP3, God does not play dice—but observersnecessarily experience probabilities.

Does God play dice?

Gerard ’t Hooft, Edward Witten, Fay Dowker B

Einstein was one of the founders of quantum mechanics, yet he disliked the randomness that lies at the heart of the theory. God does not, he famously said, play dice. However, quantum theory has survived a century of experimental tests, although it has yet to be reconciled with another of Einstein's great discoveries – the general theory of relativity. Below four theorists – Gerard 't Hooft, Edward Witten, Fay Dowker and Paul Davies– outline their views on the current status of quantum theory and the way forward

Throwing Dice? Thoughts of God in a Quantum World

Shaun C. Henson

Abstract Quantum mechanics, like other enormously successful physical theories, accurately describes how the natural world behaves. Its explanatory powers regarding the indeterminate behavior of the smallest constituents of nature have proven to be both profound and practical. Many technological devices from lasers to computer chips are based on quantum mechanics. Not surprisingly, the universe filled with microscopic random events revealed by quantum mechanics has generated wonder and interpretive bewilderment. Reactions to the unsettling revelations of quantum unpredictability have included appeals to unknown variables to preserve classical physics, and even wholesale theoretical dismissals. Far from proof of mathematical trickery or theoretical incompletion however, the now well-established and irreducible quantum randomness suggests a physical universe that is open to a future not determined by the past, and perhaps to a God that really does play dice.
