It did not really bother him that his father...
Professor Vaclav Hlavaty of Indiana University an authority of multi-demensional geometry thrilled mathematical experts on August 8 when he announced that his spinor theory will solve Einstein's Unified Field Theory. The theory, which makes use of spinors usually used in quantum mechanics, claims the basis of the universe is electromagnetism. Commented Gorrett Birkhoff, professor of Mathematics, "These new things are so complicated it makes you wonder whether there's anything to them...
