That quote always bugged me. The metaphor of "god playing dice" is about randomness in physics. Saying "the dice are loaded" would be suggesting that there is a predetermined outcome, which means god's not playing dice at all.

If I remember correctly, it's about quantum physics. How much sense it really makes or not is beyond my ken.

Yes, "god does not play dice" is essentially denying the probabilistic interpretation of quantum physics in favor of the "hidden variables" interpretation. "The dice are loaded" is a statement trying to put a clever spin on it, but it ends up not actually making sense given what's being talked about.

Loaded dice don't always land a certain way, they just do it most of the time. Maybe that is the angle?

I always interpreted it as "The universe appears to be random and non-determined but it's going to gently caress you over anyway"

Then it's not really saying anything new; probabilistic quantum physics certainly doesn't say that every outcome has equal probability. The issue is whether randomness is in play at all.

Hah, well. Not much to do with the Einstein quote, but maybe the writer did have something like that in mind.

If you wanna look at it in universe, it's from a book by Sheng-ji Yang. Looking God in the Eye. That guy is a war criminal and a dictator, and his book is likely to be propagandist nonsense ghost written to justify whatever great leap he's about to do next.

Even if God is playing dice he is omniscient so he knows the outcome so they are practically loaded.

You ask that as if I have a choice in the matter. It is your duty to go into the tanks, that's like a basic building block of society. New humans go in the creche, expired humans go in the tanks.
