The Other Einstein: Einstein Contra Field Theory
Science in Context 6 (1):275-290 (1993)
Abstract
The ArgumentBesides the well-known advocate of unified field theories, there was “another Einstein,” who was skeptical of the continuum as a foundational element in physics. This paper presents evidence for the existence of this “other Einstein,” and of the debate between the two Einsteins that lasted most of Einstein's life.Author's Profile
