Is this the Klein that did Kaluza-Klein theory?

And is this the Klein of the "Klein Bottle"? \Mikez 22:27, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It is the Klein of Kaluza-Klein theory but not of the Klein bottle. That's Felix Klein. It is also the Klein of the Klein-Nishina formula and the Klein-Gordon equation... RE 21:29, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time travel theory?

What's this about a time travel theory? I'm familiar with some of Klein's work but have never heard about this. Also, the way the few sentences on this are written is a little weasely. Can we get a reference on this? Joshua Davis (talk) 19:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I had the same reaction, and can't find anything linking Klein to time travel in the way that the text suggests. Also "tiny invisible particles orbiting atoms" (what?) are clearly irrelevant. I have therefore removed this:

    "He is also well known for his theory on time travel which involves tiny invisible particles orbiting atoms. Although widely respected as a theory it has been established that the current technology involving the examination of subatomic particles does not allow for this theory to be proven or refuted."
