Pauli makes further remarks on the problems of Elsasser's book and on his letter of the 15th September 1958.
Pauli, WolfgangThis letter contains the continuation of a former letter of the same day (elsassers_0090). Pauli adds some remarks on entropy and information.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Elsasser for his book "The Physical Foundation of Biology" and he discusses a few of its topics.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli criticizes Eliezer's computations. He notes some problems of interpretation. He says that he is sending a copy of this letter to Dirac.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli gives some second thoughts on a discussion, which took place the day before, between Einstein and Pauli on tensors possessing certain symmetry properties.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Einstein for the proofs of his paper (written by Einstein with Ehrenfest) concerning the elementary processes in which several quanta are simultaneously absorbed or emitted. Pauli shows that there exists an analogue for such processes in classical theory.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Einstein for the proofs of his paper on "Fernparallellismus". Pauli remarks that from the viewpoint of quantum theory nothing can be said in favour of this new concept. He further criticizes the derivation of Einstein's field equations and their results which have lost contact with physical reality. He is ready to bet that in a year Einstein will drop the whole "Fernparallelismus".
