“Einstein was convinced that science would eventually displace religion. “The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion,” he wrote. “It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.” Buddhism”

“Einstein was uncomfortable with quantum mechanics, both scientifically and philosophically. In quantum mechanics, causal determinism disappears. Scientifically, Einstein was unable to accept this theory. His problem with the theory was that quantum revolution defined reality with uncertainty, which ran against his ingrained sense that nature must operate with absolute certainty. Einstein believed, and many times said, that the goal of physics was to understand the laws that establish cause and effect. This scientific position was in full accord with his philosophical beliefs— that a divine hand had created the universe in accordance with unbending physical laws. Einstein could not reconcile that portions of creation operated by laws, and other portions by whim. “God does not play dice,” he once said in response to the theory.       Einstein’s”

“The French ate it up. They called him “The Electrical Ambassador,” both for his scientific discoveries and his electrifying effects on the crowds. With every month and every public appearance, Franklin’s fame grew, and with it, the French devotion to the cause of American freedom. In the words of biographer Gordon S. Wood, “Franklin was the most potent weapon the United States possessed in its struggle with the greatest power on earth,” and the British Prime Minister, Lord Rockingham, wrote that the government “trembled” at Franklin’s mission.”

“Einstein’s Stubbornness Contributes to Failure   Ironically, Einstein’s rejection of quantum mechanics may have been a factor which contributed to his failure to develop a unified theory. Einstein’s refusal to accept quantum mechanics and the probabilities they present caused him to turn his back on more recent developments in physics. It also served to alienate him from the rest of the physics community. Yet the harder Einstein worked on his unified theory, and with each successive failure, he found himself more isolated than before. Einstein was aware of this increasing ostracism, but was unwilling to change. Late in his life he would comment, “I must seem like an ostrich who forever buries its head in the relativistic sand in order not to face the evil quanta.”   Einstein’s”
