To Besso in 1954, Einstein wrote: "I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field principle, i.e., on continuous structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included..." In a world where the vigilantly anticipated, 'billiard ball model particle' could not be - and still has not been - isolated, what motivated the Maestro of wave and field theory to pen-pal this - out of character - sentiment? The following year, 1955, found Einstein returned to diligently working on his formerly abandoned Unified Field Theory... He died - age 76 - at Princeton, that same year.
This missive is dedicated to corroborating Einstein's last wishes.
