Description

Sectional committee: Mathematics

Not recommended for publication. The author doesn't state his assumptions clearly. To make the paper valuable, the author should state which laws of nature have their usual form. The meaning of the suffix O is difficult to understand. The whole argument is 'very obscure' and there are too many equations and too little discussion.

[Not published].

Endorsed on verso as received 24 April 1937.
