‎First printing of Ambarzumian and Iwanenko's landmark paper in which they first proposed the idea that in the course of interactions of elementary particles with nonzero rest masses, some of them might be created or annihilated. The idea proposed is regarded as being a cornerstone of contemporary quantum field theory. Higgs later applied some of Ambarzumian and Iwanenko's discoveries which eventually resulted in the discovery of the Higgs Boson, often referred to as the 'God Particle'. The idea of the creation of particles with nonzero rest masses was absolutely new and did not follow from classical notions and is now a part of the Standard Model.‎

It also contains the first notion of the ""Line of Force"". He employed a magnet and a wire with a flowing current, which causd each separately to rotate round the other. He concluded that a current-carrying wire is sorraunded by a circular ""line of force"". Oersted had spoken of the ""electrical conflict"" surrounding the wire and had noted that ""this conflict performs circles"".‎
