Reality in Science

The fundamental achievement of the West was a discovery ... the discovery that the universe is under gridded by a reality. Einstein said it best ... "God does not play dice" (or some such), he argued. Einstein's argument was against the quantum mechanical world ... a world where the laws of chance govern at the level of subatomic particles. This great man, however, missed the point ... quantum statistics itself is the reality. Some alternative world may have other laws, other stats, but we live within the confines of probability.
