Did Einstein stumble? The debate over general covariance
Erkenntnis 42 (2):223 - 245 (1995)
Abstract
The objection that Einstein's principle of general covariance is not a relativity principle and has no physical content is reviewed. The principal escapes offered for Einstein's viewpoint are evaluated.Author's Profile
