Very rareFIRST EDITION This is the extract of the study appearing in the 'Sitzungsberichten Preussischen der Akademie der Wissenschaften' ', Phys.-math. Klasse 1929, published here separately. This work is part of a series of materials that Einstein devoted himself between 1928 and 1929 the “unified Theory of fields” in an attempt, then ended with the formulation of a new theory of space, to give an explanation to justify pluralistic universe his theory of relativity. Hoffmann –Dukas: “In 1928, [Einstein] embarked on a new approach to a unified field theory... involving what he called 'distant parallelism'... By early 1929 he had solved the main problems involved in writing down field equations for his unified field theory. On the day of official publication of the third of a formidably technical series of nine articles on the theory... excited headlines appeared in foreign newspapers throughout the world... In this frenzied, unscientific atmosphere, Einstein's new theory was hailed in the press as an outstanding scientific advance. Yet Einstein had stated in his article that this was still tentative; and soon he found he had to abandon it.”
