Dear Bob Campbell:
My understanding is that Einstein was back to working on his abandoned cosmological constant - field theory based continuous universe - when he perished. Would you please provide some documentation or references to confirm your contrary reports of Einstein's viewpoints out of his later years?

Are you familiar with Einstein's abandoned cosmological constant and the steady state theory as it relates to Einstein's - also abandoned - unified field theory? My understanding is that Einstein was in search of a Grand Unified - continuous - Field Theory, up to the time of his death at Princeton. Could you direct me to the informations you know of that indicate the contrary? What you say of Einstein's abandonment of his life's work is something I have never heard of before. Please respond.

Regards

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.
