analysing the structure of the atom, they discovered

studies made of the solar system. This theory, called
the quantum mechanics theory, maintains that at
the sub-atomic level, matter behaves randomly.
The word ‘principle’ in science means something
which applies in equal measure throughout the
entire universes. If there is even one single instance
of a principle failing to apply to something, its
academic bonafides have to be called in question. It
followed then that if matter did not function

similar manner at the subatomic level as it did in
the solar system, it should have to be rejected.
Einstein found this idea unthinkable and spent the
last 30 years of his life trying to reconcile these
seeming contradictions of nature. He rejected the
randomness of quantum mechanics, saying, “I
cannot believe God plays dice with the universe.”
Despite his best efforts, he was never able to resolve
this problem and it seems that the Quran has the
