Abstract
Wolfgang Yourgrau has always—and most intensively during the last years— entered into the great physical question asked by his teachers Einstein and Schrödinger: How can one found the different types of micro- and macrophysical interactions and their orders of magnitude within the framework of a unified field theory seeing its pattern in general relativity? To answer this question, Wolfgang considered the ideas of Helmholtz, Planck, Hilbert, Einstein, Weyl, Eddington, Schrödinger, and Heisenberg, assuming a Hamiltonian principle with geometrically founded symmetries, universal constants, and meaningful numerical factors as the key that would unlock the door to classical and quantum aspects of physics.
