A REASONABLE COURSE of investigation in fundamental physics should fully exploit Einstein’s approach to the meaning of space—time; it would proceed by exploring, in a unified way, the predictions of generalized equations of general relativity that would encompass in one formalism all of the domains of interaction—from fermis to light years.
