Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Suggests sending the paper to a second referee, as he does not have sufficient time to report fully. Suggests shortening the paper by half and rewriting the mathematical part. Refers to work of Hendrik Antoon Lorentz and Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac. Comments on the formal nature of the theory presented. Finds detailed discussion unnecessary.
