Fierz responds to Pauli's aversion to the half-integral rotation group by deriving its properties. He gives in attachment Pauli's calculations. Fierz also defends Bohm's ideas against Pauli's criticism.

Fierz defends his position that entropy is the "measure of information" obtained by an observer. He examines information obtained in classical theory from observation of changing macrostate; in quantum theory from observation of microstate that is then generalized to a macrostate. He claims entropy exists only with observation.

Fierz is against the conception that the origins of life are due to a "chance". He agrees with Pauli that one can expect to find spherical gravitational waves.
