Einstein woke with the Special Relativity Theory clear in his head even though he seems to have lost the dream that helped give it to him. Just six months apart in age (Sinclair was 52 when they met, Einstein 51), the two men had achieved their initial fame at almost the same time: Einstein in 1905 with his first publication of the relativity theory, Sinclair in 1906 with his sensational novel about the Chicago meatpacking industry, ``The Jungle. From this we get a non-Cartesian cognitive formulation for science with no absolute predistinction between mind and matter and a field view of"substance" that is compatible with modern quantum field theory and general relativity theory. |
