Best I can remember, my main point was that Einstein did indeed cling to the steady state model to the point that he "klugged" a cosmological constant. Afterwards, he regretted that - and yet today, many believe a constant is needed.
The other point was that Einstein's theories support the Platonist paradigm but he took the Aristotle paradigm (mathematics) in his debates with Godel. How strange!
Thank you so much for all of your wonderfully informative essay-posts!
Oh, don't you just HATE IT when that happens! (It's happened to me more than once....)
I'm oh so sorry this happened! I was wondering why you hadn't replied to my post!!! LOL!!!
You think it strange that a "platonist" like Einstein would take the "aristotelian" position in his debate with Godel. I just think that Einstein is this splendid, magnificent, walking-around "complementarity" in his own self! He's an absolutely fascinating personality....
Thank you ever so much for writing, my dearest sister in Christ! I'm so very sorry your first attempt has been lost.
