apparently Einstein's theory of relativity disproved the existence of aether, and the aetheric body. but what would he know? (forgive me, physicist, for i HAVE SINNED..)

but then in his later years, Einstein also rejected quantum mechanics, even tho he was one of the originators of the quantum theory, partly because quantum theory is too messy... does God play dice with the universe?

(excerpt from link) "The rules of quantum mechanics forbid you from saying in any individual case what will happen. So quantum theory is basically a statistical theory, like roulette or dice. You can only give the odds. Although quite precise and mathematical from the statistical point of view, you generally cannot say in any particular case what the outcome is going to be. Einstein hated that idea. He hated the notion that the future was intrinsically indeterminate..."

which begs the question, did Einstein reject quantum mechanics because he was a control freak?
