Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics because of this element of 
chance and uncertainty. He said, "God does not play dice." It seems 
that Einstein was doubly wrong. The quantum effects
of black holes suggests that not only does God play dice, He 
sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.  --Steven Hawking
