He wrote his first book about Einstein’s theories in Swedish in 1922, which developed into his 1969 English book, Relativity, Time and Reality. His book, Relativity, Time and Reality, is a controversial critique of Albert Einstein"s concepts of time and simultaneity in Special Relativity. His arguments have been generally considered invalid.
The primary objection in the first part of his critique is that Einstein"s concept of simultaneity, while seemingly not depending on Newtonian time, nevertheless presupposes it:.
