We have no wish, nor capability, to offer a criticism of the astronomies and mathematics of Professor Einstein. Whilst some of the experts capable of giving a sound judgment are not yet on Einstein’s side, the vast bulk of scientific opinion would seem solidly in his favour. By profession he is a mathematican. If then he has succeeded in giving a new simplification of cosmic mathematics, his life’s work has fitted him for discovery.
But even as far back as Plato it was agreed that it is hard for a mathematician to be a philosopher. If then we offer some criticisms on the philosophy of Professor Einstein, it is not that we who are students of the Scholastic Philosophy are impertinently prying into mathematics, but, on the contrary, a genius in mathematics has been tempted beyond his furrow into the field of Philosophy.
