• Resumen

  • The article examines the meaning and principles behind the quotation "God does not play dice with the universe," popularly attributed to the 20th-century physicist Albert Einstein. Topics addressed include a description of the phrase's common interpretation that Einstein disbelieved in indeterminacy, assertions that Einstein actually held that determinacy and indeterminacy were dependent on the scale of observation, and how this philosophical question informs scientific theory.
