Einstein e la sindrome ionica. Oltre la relatività generale, la ricerca di una teoria unitaria di campo continuo

Abstract

Einstein and the ionic Syndrome. Searching for a unified Theory of continuum Field beyond the general Relativity In Physics and Reality (1936), Albert Einstein wrote about his General Theory of Relativity: “It is similar to a building, one wing of which is made of fine marble (left part of the equation), but the other wing of which is built of low grade wood (right side of equation)”. Why the author of one of the highest achievement of human thinking was so critical? Two the main metaphysical reasons: the trust in unity of nature; the trust in continuity of nature. So Einstein was in searching for a more general theory to unify its two fundamental forces, gravity and electromagnetism. So Einstein wanted to realize the “Maxwell program” and so to uncover a general theory of continuum field. The left part of the general relativity equation is fine marble because states a continuum field. The right side of equation is low grade wood because states discrete particles that are disturbing Einstein metaphysics.
