To those very familiar with Einstein. Why couldn't he agree with Bohr. Was it because Einstein rejected indeterminism or was it because QM rejected realism?
But I have problem believing in the latter. Einstein 4-dimensional spacetime is just pure mathematic. 4-D objects are stationary.. and observers move along worldline at the speed of light. We couldn't imagine this as actual physical objects but just mathematical construction and modelling. Now. Quantum mechanics with the objects not having positions even in principle unless measured with random outcome. Why did Einstein have trouble with this when his Spacetime is even stranger and out of reality? Was it because Einstein simply didn't want the random and indeterminism of the quantum or was he also criticizing that the quantum rejected reality as in the electron having no position before measurement? If the latter is true. How come Einstein had trouble with it when his Spacetime was equally (or even more) as anti-realistic?
