‎Subtle Is the Lord: The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein‎

‎oxford: Oxford Univ Pr 1983. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. widely recognized as the definitive scientific biography of Albert Einstein. The late Abraham Pais was a distinguished physicist turned historian who knew Einstein both professionally and personally in the last years of his life. His biography combines a profound understanding of Einstein's work with personal recollections from their years of acquaintance illuminating the man through the development of his scientific thought.Pais examines the formulation of Einstein's theories of relativity his work on Brownian motion and his response to quantum theory with authority and precision. The profound transformation Einstein's ideas effected on the physics of the turn of the century is here laid out for the serious reader. Pais also fills many gaps in what we know of Einstein's life - his interest in philosophy his concern with Jewish destiny and his opinions of great figures from Newton to Freud All of our books are in the shop and are 'real' books.

In 1955 Oreste Piccioni was a staff member at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This paper reports on a collaboration between Pais and Piccioni that dealt with "bizarre manifestations of the mixing of Ko and Ko" specifically the fate of a freshly created Ko-beam. Their result was "a regeneration of K1 . . . manifested by the reappearance of the decay K1 2p. This prediction which has become known as the Pais-Piccioni effect was verified a few years later. . . Feyman has called these predictions 'one of the greatest achievements of theoretical physics. It is not based on an elegant hocus-pocus . . . yet the predictions are just as important as say the prediction of the positron.' It is certainly the best physics I have done in my whole life."

This is the first time a physics paper was submitted for publication in which the ideas of Lee and Yang on p- and C-invariance were discussed. "The question Sam and I addressed concerned a decay mode named Koe3 the decay of a long-lived neutral K into a charged pion plus an electron plus a neutrino. Details need not be of concern here except for our remark that our results are 'independent of whether or not parity is conserved or not . . . and of whether charge conjugation invariance is valid or not in weak interactions.' Obviously we were prepared for either eventuality." Pais A tale of two continents p. 359. "Treiman who had begun his academic career in 1952 as an instructor at Princeton University was now an assistant professor there and has since climbed through the ranks. More important to me is that he has become my best American friend." Pais A tale of two continents p. 359. The Physical Review, Vol. 105, No. 5, March 1, 1957. paperback books‎
