I had always thought Einstein was being jocular when he said he believed in the God of Spinoza, but his lifelong antipathy to QM points to a seriously held belief. My current understanding of Spinoza is that his God was equivalent to the laws of Physics + an initial state — that which generates the Universe, and conversely to study the Universe was to learn about God. In any case, Spinoza's universe evolved in a strictly determinate manner: like GR, but unlike QM.
(did Russell influence the Utah Teapot? or was it merely chosen for its variety of curvatures? Looks like Newell is still alive, if I can track him down...)
If Bohr were alive today I think he would find more parallels between tech we create and the universe.
I like to ponder that maybe our known universe truly is a single electron behaving similar to scan lines on a TV at Planck scale in a higher dimension. Planck is the hz rate in this parable.
