Hermann Weyl (November 9, 1885 - December 8, 1955) was a German mathematician, one of the first people to combine general relativity with the laws of electromagnetism.
Weyl was born november 9, 1885 in Elmshorn, Germany[?] and died december 8 1955 in Zürich, Switzerland.
He also showed how to use exponential sums[?] in diophantine approximation, with his criterion for uniform distribution mode 1, which was fundamental step in analytic number theory.

Weyl's 1918 theory of the unified electrodynamic/gravitational field was one of the topics in that chapter.
Hermann Weyl included this poem in his last book, Symmetry, in which he remarks that the sphere in space represents true perfection -- so perfect, in fact, that it inspires not only awed admiration but sorrowful longing as well, because it is a reflection of the perfect symmetry and unattainable perfection that is God himself.
Weyl was referring to objections that many physicists were voicing at the time about the use of group theory (which was viewed as pure mathematics) in the then-emerging field of quantum mechanics.

Weyl believed that because the electromagnetic scalar density is of zero weight, then all physically-relevant tensor quantities should also have zero gauge weights.
Weyl's theory was struck down, by Einstein no less, and it never really took hold, in spite of the fact that everyone thought it was an elegant and beautiful idea.
Weyl immediately recognized that this was indeed the case, and in 1929 he published a paper in Zeitschrift für Physik that established the connection once and for all (Weyl's 1929 paper will be the subject of a future discussion on this site).

Weyl (Hermann Klaus Hugo, but Peter to his friends) asked the question, "What if your standard of length were to change from place to place?" Machinists have high precision blocks of metal of standard lengths which they call gauge blocks.
Weyl called his theory "gauge invariance." That is, Weyl asked if he could somehow make the equations of General Relativity invariant when the length standard, the "gauge," changed.
Weyl, however, decided to ask a different question.
