Lancelot Law Whyte

Lancelot Law Whyte (1896–1972) was a Scottish financier and industrial engineer. [ [http://www.pep-web.org/document.php?id=cps.010.0386a PEP Web - A Biographical Note on L. L. Whyte ] ]

He claimed to have worked with Albert Einstein on the unified field theory. [Focus and Diversions, L L Whyte, Cresset Press, London 1963] . He further claimed that this work was based on the theory of the 18th century natural philosopher Roger Boscovich. [Roger Joseph Boscovich SJ FRS, 1711 -1787 Studies of his life and work on the 250th anniversary of his birth, edited L L Whyte, George Allen and Unwin, London, 1961] .

Whyte proposed something he called "the unitary principle" to unify physics theories. [The Unitary Principle in Physics and biology, LL Whyte, London, 1949] Experimental work on this theory was carried out by Leo Baranski. [Scientific Basis for World Civilization: Unitary Field theory, Leo J Baranski, The Christopher Publishing House, USA, 1960]
