166 CHAPTER 36. RELATIVITY: EINSTEIN of scientists. Claims frequently made that the theory is supported by experimental evidence do not withstand a close scrutiny.; Insofar as the theory is thought to explain the result of the Michelson-Morley experiment I am inclined to agree with Soddy that it is a swindle; and I do not think Rutherford would have regarded it as a joke [as said in 1954] had he realised how it would retard the rational development of science.
Chapter 37 Quantum Mechanics: Bohr Could one not maintain determiism by making it an acrticle of faith? Must one necessarily elevate indeterminism to a principle? (Lorentz) 37.1 Lost Souls of Modern Physics The rumble in the jungle big controversy of modern physics is that between Einstein-Schrödinger on one side and Bohr-Heisenberg as the advocates of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics on the other side, a battle eventually lost by Einstein-Schrödinger as the preparations for Wold War II took over science. Einstein got the quantum ball rolling in a deal with Lucifer, but repented and maybe was saved like the Faustus of Goethe, while Bohr jumped on the roller coaster and never showed any inclination to repent, and maybe his fate is closer to that of the Faustus of Marlowe. Einstein lost against Bohr, but saved his soul from Lucifer, while Bohr won both war and science but lost his soul to Lucifer. 37.2 Einstein • The soothing philosophy – or religion? – of Hesienberg-Bohr is so cleverly concocted that fro the present it offers the believers a sof resting pillow from which they are not easily chased away. Let us therefore let them rest...This religion dose damned little for me. 167
