I have a copy of Weyl's "Space-Time_Matter" Dover Books, 1952. It is a
beautiful book. I had long hoped that Hermann's beautiful ideas could be
useful, to bad he lived in a world that could not understand him! :( I
have a photocopy of Eddington's chapter on Weyl's theory and his
assesment. The "pseudo-problem" of gauge invariance causing a smearing
of spectra is not a problem at all. I think that the arguments that we
use for "local" time are equally applicable to "local" spatial
distributions! There is a mathematical duality involved here, that of
the Fourier transform!
