The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Arthur Stanley Eddington, on a paper 'A new presentation and interpretation of the quantum equations' by H T Flint

Reference number: RR/48/96

Date: March 1933

Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. 'I am not very keen on this type of paper which is rather groping in the dark. But there is a good deal being published (by good men) on the continent of a similar kind and, as apparently they think it worth while, I must not insist on my personal view. I think that Flint's development in this (and earlier papers) is about as satisfactory and clear as any, and in some points he is better'.
