    • 1.Mie's approach is necessarily limited to the framework of special relativity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The general theory of relativity does not permit the generalization and modification of classical field laws that Mie's approach requires.

    Weyl lists two reasons in support for his agens theory of matter. First, the agens theory of matter is the only theory which coheres with the basic experiences of life and physics: matter generates the field and all our actions ultimately involve matter. For example, only through matter can we change the field. Secondly, in order to understand the fact of the existence of charged material particles, we have two possibilities: either we follow Mie and adopt a pure field theory of matter, o
