If a physicist in the early part of this century were trying to decide whether to accept an Einsteinian conception of space and time, the issue would not be, 'Is the Einsteinian account true?' […] The issue to be addressed is the pragmatic question of whether the new Einsteinian conception seems to solve what are regarded as the most pressing current puzzles, has the greater scope for future explanation, etc.
This talk of pre-Einsteinian and Einsteinian worlds reveals another facet to the dilemma between the two interlocutors.
[H]e was ushered into a neat little office on the third floor, where he was greeted by a charming, roly-poly man with gold-rimmed spectacles and a huge shock of Einsteinian hair, dressed in an old-fashioned tweed suit with a vest and gold watch chain, looking like a man out of a Dickens novel.
