Back in college I remember coming across a few books in the physics library by Mendel Sachs. Examples are:
General Relativity and Matter
Quantum Mechanics and Gravity
Quantum Mechanics from General Relativity
Here is something on the arXiv involving some of his work.
In these books (which I note are also strangely available in most physics department libraries) he describes a program involving re-casting GR using quaternions. He does things that seem remarkable like deriving QM as a low-energy limit of GR. I don't have the GR background to unequivocally verify or reject his work, but this guy has been around for decades, and I have never found any paper or article that seriously "debunks" any of his work. It just seems like he is ignored. Are there glaring holes in his work? Is he just a complete crackpot? What is the deal?
