Ironically, conventional quantum mechanics itself involves a vast expansion of physical reality, which may be enough to avoid Einstein Insanity. The equations of quantum dynamics allow physicists to predict the future values of the wave function, given its present value. According to the Schrödinger equation, the wave function evolves in a completely predictable way. But in practice we never have access to the full wave function, either at present or in the future, so this predictability is unattainable. If the wave function provides the ultimate description of reality — a controversial issue! — we must conclude that God plays a deep yet strictly rule-based game, which looks like dice to us.
