I presume most people here can’t parse most of the equations written by Albert Einstein. What makes you think you understand his neshoma?
He was very focused on understanding how the World was created, believing that there is an underlying unity of the world. Not just rejecting statistical view of the world as in “does not play dice”, but trying to uncover how multiple physical theories can be unified. This is solid scientific interpretation of Hashem’s creation of the world and he spent most of his later years pushing in this direction. He was probably Spinozian in the sense that he looed for universal laws only, not Hashem’s continuing role in the world, but I think Spinoza had more serious Jewish background that he consciously rejected.
