Space, time and elementary interactions in relativity
FEB 01, 1969
To express in a unified formalism all the interactions of matter, ranging from the elementary particles to astronomical bodies, we should begin with a simple study of the concepts of Einstein’s space—time.
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.

Inside certain quantum systems, where randomness was thought to lurk, researchers—after a 40-year journey—have found order and unique wave patterns that stubbornly survive.
