  • Editor's Note: This idea is an example of the more general principle (commonly referred to as Ockham's Razor) that has been likened to the notion of “scientific parsimony”;: i.e., the simplest arguments should be used where possible; or, as stated by the noted English theologian William of Ockham, “It is futile to do with more what can be done with fewer. [Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per paudora.].”; Hoffman et al. (Hoffmann, R., Minkin, V. and Carpenter, B., on the Internet at http://rz70.rz.uni‐karlsruhe.de/∼ed01/Hyle/Hyle3/hoffman.htm) provide an interesting discussion of this principle as it applies to chemistry

  • I was not familiar with the work that had been carried out by Fermi and others on field quantization during the 1930's or of the work by Tomonaga, Schwinger, or Feynman that was being carried out at the time. Clearly, there were others besides Einstein (for example, Nernst) who had also formulated ideas that suggested the need for QED.
