Clarifies the dynamical field perspective of GR in ADM formulation
Provides historical insights for scholars and historians
Abstract
I review the meaning of General Relativity (GR), viewed as a dynamical field, rather than as geometry, as effected by the 1958-61 anti-geometrical work of ADM. This very brief non-technical summary, is intended for historians.
