CB: Jim, at the beginning of the 20th Century, didn't a lot of Machians and other idealists attempt to use Einstein's relativity theory in physics and quantum mechanics theory ( such as Heisenberg's interpretation) to justify relatavist epistemology in a way that Einstein , Planck and others came to disagree with ?
