Abstract

After the Copernican revolution modern physics accepted atomism, i.e. that matter was composed of point-particles of Boscovich’s theory. Rarely is it mentioned by physicists where this concept came from, and even rarer is it mentioned the unified theory based on it. Einstein’s highly influential impact on 20th Century physics seems to have diverted attention from the fact that there was a unified field theory before his influence. Einstein faced the problem of how could electromagnetism and gravity be unified in his space-time. In the context of Boscovich’s theory unification is much simpler.
