Yeah, not exactly concretely wrong, but he had personal beliefs about what the nature of the universe 'should' be that made him resistant to new developments in quantum mechanics and cosmology. He still made major contributions to both fields though, even if his aims missed the mark somewhat.
.Thats where te famous quote "God does not play dice with the universe" comes from. He had a hard time accepting that quantum mechanics really were purely statistical and random and not deterministic.
There is the interpretation that the universe branches to include all possible outcomes deterministically, but even then the actual experience of existing in the universe and ending up in one fork as opposed to another is still purely probabilistic.

Are they? Aren't they not just deterministic in a way we don't understand yet?

Almost certainly not, crazily. Subatomic particles really are just waves until they’re measured. Really wacky

Probably not
