Neatly Handwritten Manuscript By An Instructor At Caltech About 120 Pp.With A Transmittal Letter 2 Pp To Prof. Mendel Sachs And His Lengthy E-Mail Reply. Mendel Sachs 1927 -2012 Was An American Theoretical Physicist. His Scientific Work Includes The Proposal Of A Unified Field Theory That Brings Together The Weak Force Strong Force Electromagnetism And Gravity. Sachs Earned His Bachelors At The University Of California Los Angeles He Then Moved To Columbia University New York For Postgraduate Study. While At Columbia Sachs Was Taught By Willis Lamb And Hideki Yukawa.5 Yukawa Had Agreed To Be Sach's Thesis Advisor But Sachs Decided To Complete His Doctorate Back At Ucla. Following The Award Of His Phd In 1954 Sachs First Post-Doctoral Position Was At The New University Of California Radiation Laboratory At Both Berkeley And Livermore Which Was Run By Edward Teller And Ernest Lawrence And Was Also Home To Bryce Dewitt Who Sachs Would Later Co-Author Articles With In Physics Today. In 1956 Sachs Became A Senior Scientist At Lockheed Missiles And Space Laboratory While At Lockheed Sachs Began Developing With Solomon Schwebel A Field Theory Of Quantum Electrodynamics That Included Broken Symmetries That Did Not Require Recourse To Renormalization Or Perturbation Techniques - The "Schwebel-Sachs" Model. In 1961 He Became A Research Professor At Mcgill University; This Was Followed By A Post As Associate Professor Of Physics At Boston University 1962-1966. In 1964 While At Boston University Sachs Received An Invitation From Paul Dirac To Visit Cambridge University. Sachs Stayed In England For Three Months Where His Wife Yetty Had Family. Sachs Worked With Paul Dirac At The Department Of Applied Mathematics And Theoretical Physics Cambridge University. While Working With Dirac Sachs Also Had The Opportunity To Discuss Ideas With John G. Taylor John Polkinghorne And Graduate Students At Damtp. In 1965 Sachs Had Had A Breakthrough While At The Aspen Physics Institute Colorado. Sachs Was Able To Derive A Result For A Unified Field Theory If Quantum Mechanics Was Considered To Be A Linear Approximation For A Field Theory Of Inertia Expressed In General Relativity. Sachs Argued That The Work Of Albert Einstein And Erwin Schrödinger In General Relativity Did Not Yet Take Account Of The Inertia Of Matter Which Required Consideration Of The Mach Principle. In The Summer Of 1966 Abdus Salam Invited Sachs To Spend A Few Months At The International Centre For Theoretical Physics In Trieste Italy. During This Time Sachs Published The Details Of His Formal Structure Of Quantum Mechanics From A Generally Covariant Field Theory Of Inertia In The Italian Journal Il Nuovo Cimento. In The Autumn Of 1966 He Was Appointed Professor Of Physics At State University Of New York At Buffalo. unknown

He Also Made Significant Contributions To General Relativity And Indirectly To Quantum Mechanics. He Is Widely Regarded As One Of The Greatest Mathematicians Of The Twentieth Century. His Son Henri Cartan Was An Influential Mathematician Working In Algebraic Topology. As A Student Of Cartan The Geometer Shiing-Shen Chern Wrote: Usually The Day After Meeting With Cartan I Would Get A Letter From Him. He Would Say "After You Left I Thought More About Your Questions."-He Had Some Results And Some More Questions And So On. He Knew All These Papers On Simple Lie Groups Lie Algebras All By Heart. When You Saw Him On The Street When A Certain Issue Would Come Up He Would Pull Out Some Old Envelope And Write Something And Give You The Answer. And Sometimes It Took Me Hours Or Even Days To Get The Same Answer. I Had To Work Very Hard. . Hermann et Cie unknown
