I am familiar with that debate. It was relativity that was missing from Newtons equations and allowed them to work properly, but yes, Einstein never like quantum mechanics e.g. Spooky action at a distance is what he called entanglement. Einstein said:"god does not play dice with the universe" to which Niels Bohr responded: :he not only plays dice with the universe he does it in a dark closet. The biggest debate of the last century was between Einstein and his folks and Niels Bohr and his folks on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) i.e. one can never know exactly both the position and momentum of a particle. The more you know of one the less you will know of the other. Getting back to statistics: many don't realize that particles position can never be known exactly all we ever have is a probability. PS I have Wheeler's book and have read it off and on. <<The history of QM and its metaphysics is interesting. Einstein BTW was not a great fan. Read up on something called the Copenhagen Interpretation.
