containing the now famous quote:
the marriage between mathematics and physics, which was so enormously fruitful in past centuries, has recently ended in divorce.
which is in reference to
The first clear sign of a breakdown in communication between physics and mathematics was the extraordinary lack of interest among mathematicians in James Clerk Maxwell’s discovery of the laws of electromagnetism
