"Not only did Einstein die before achieving this goal, but prior to his death his conceptualization of a unified field theory was being dismissed by younger physicists as the ideas of an old man whose scientific usefulness had passed long ago. Quantum physics and the physics of chance and statistical probabilities (the physics of Born and Heisenberg) were supplanting the Einsteinian physics of the whole. This was the new physics of indeterminacy. This new physics could be characterized by Sir George Thompson’s following statements, which appear in Einstein: The Life and Times:
‘Wherever a system is really complicated, as in the brain or in an organized community, indeterminacy comes in, not necessarily because of ‘h’(Planck’s constant) but because to make a prediction, so many things must be known that the stray consequences of studying them will disturb the status quo, which can never therefore be discovered. History is not and cannot be determinant. The supposed causes only may produce the consequences we expect.’
I am almost certain that most workers in the field of psychiatry are not consciously aware that they too have assured a position in the respective scientific camps of either Albert Einstein or that of Born and Heisenberg. The camp of indeterminacy holds, as articulated by Sir George Thompson, that (in a system as complicated as the brain or in an organized community) one cannot uncover a unitary law or a unitary cause of the many complex forms of behavior, knowledge of which would enable prediction of expected consequences. On the contrary, the camp of determinacy concludes that in any finite energy system – no matter how seemingly complex at the surface level – a unitary law can be discerned simply because there is specific order in the universe and thus there is order in any given energy system. A unitary law would reveal the nature of that specific order. I reside in the Albert Einstein camp – the camp of determinacy."
