Description
WEYL HERMANN: (1885-1955) German Mathematician, Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher. Manuscript D.S., Hermann Weyl, one page, 4to, n.p., November 1952. Weyl responds to a researcher's questionnaire in homage to Albert Einstein, with their questions at the head of the page, 1. What do you think of Einstein, or what do you owe to him? 2. Among the more illustrious scientists in all ages, to whom do you compare him, and what place, in your opinion, does his hold in the future? 3. Immediately after him, would you cite the names of the six greatest masters in contemporary physics, and explain the reason of your choice? Weyl's answers to the first two questions appear immediately beneath, '1. As all the world knows, Einstein has made the most fundamental contributions to various branches of physics. His work in general relativity theory was of great influence in my own scientific development; in particular both of us tried to develop a unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism……..2. I believe that Einstein can be compared only with men of the stature of a Newton or Maxwell. His theory of special and general relativity is of the same everlasting value as their work'. About EX
