Probable attribution
A source trail connects this quotation to Albert Einstein and (1955) as quoted in Some strangeness in the proportion: a centennial symposium to celebrate the achievements of Albert Einstein (1980) Addison-Wesley Pub. Co., Advanced Book Program., but the exact English wording has not been confirmed in a primary text. The attribution is therefore probable rather than definitive.
Likely origin: (1955) as quoted in Some strangeness in the proportion: a centennial symposium to celebrate the achievements of Albert Einstein (1980) Addison-Wesley Pub. Co., Advanced Book Program.
Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
This page records the wording "It appears dubious whether a field theory can account for…," which centers on appears, dubious, whether. A concrete trail points toward Einstein, but the exact English form remains unconfirmed; the page therefore labels it as attributed to him while preserving its science and wisdom context.
When to use it
- Use "It appears dubious whether a field theory can account for…" in a science discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of appears with dubious in a lesson, essay, or editorial note before drawing a conclusion.
- Before sharing it as Einstein's exact words, display the attribution caveat and follow the evidence link recorded on the page.
