Late Nineteenth

Einstein is remembered for his contributions to the re-ordering of the foundations of physics in the first years of the twentieth century. Much of his achievement was, however, based on the classical physics of the late nineteenth century and it was his work on statistical mechanics that underlay his first contributions to quantum theory. This essay is an account of an aspect of his achievement that is often overlooked.

Foundations Of Physics

Mendeleev's pragmatic table approach to capturing patterns in the chemical elements allowed it to endure even after quantum theory uncovered the simplicity that created those patterns. While predictively powerful, the Standard Model's early extensive use of mathematical symmetries likely added a level of noise that to this day is hiding, rather than clarifying, the deeper foundations of physics.
