Even if you didn’t work on the winning protein you helped.
Just like a rescue search party you looking in one place let someone else look in another. The person who finds the missing person is random. However if they were working alone they wouldn’t have found anything.
It’s terrible, wrong, and out of context. Einstein was talking about quantum mechanics not mental health. He really didn’t like that at the quantum level results are random but follow a very spefic probability curve.
He thought quantum mechanics would be able to achive classical physics like results. Where the only uncertainty was because of measurement error.
quantum uncertainty is the most experimentaly proven theory in physics. So even in the context Einstein made the statement he was wrong.
