Abstract
THE main purpose of this inspiring book is to propose a new structural method of physics where relativity and the quantum theory are shown as special cases of a more general limitation on the classical frame. The proposed method, which the author calls ‘unitary theory’, is a deductive theory of measurement and of the relations holding between measured quantities, based on a theory of the structure of rods and clocks, in which all theoretically significant lengths, times, or masses appear as functions of one primary length, time, or mass.
