This is a question on which a single source of information is not such
a good idea. Reference is made to Einstein's later beliefs by Wheeler
Prigogine, and others which are not entirely consistent with this statement
of Pais.

Torkel and I already duked this one out in sci.philosophy.meta, so I
won't get into the details. Popular expositions which bear on the
question include Prigogine's _Time: From Being to Becoming_ and the
sequel to Hawking's _Brief History of Time_ (i.e. companion volume to the
movie).
