摘要: I argue that, contrary to folklore, Einstein never really cared for geometrizing the gravitational or (subsequently) electromagnetic field; indeed, he thought that very statement General Relativity geometrizes gravity "is not saying anything at all". Instead, shall show saw "unification" of inertia and as one major achievements Relativity. Interestingly, did locate this unification in field equations but his interpretation geodesic equation, law motion test particles.
