‎Albert Einstein on the search for greater meaning: "Using such apothecary's methods one cannot reveal any of God's secrets I think." A Swiss chemist's work leaves Einstein cold but Schrödinger "has the scent of a deeper truth."‎

‎<p><b>ALBERT EINSTEIN.</b>Autograph Correspondence Card Signed to Michele Besso May 1 1926 Berlin. In German. 1 p. 4¼ x 5â…ž in. </p><b>Complete Translation</b><p><i> 1 May 1926</i></p><p><i>Dear Michele</i></p><p><i> I read that paper</i><i>right away at the time but I don't think that anything more profound lies behind it. There is naturally a rough connection between a decrease in volume and energy and from here one can try to come nearer to the empirical phenomena by introducing further parameters. But this happens in such a way that neither rhyme nor reason can be made of it. It is very reminiscent of Traube. Using such apothecary's methods one cannot reveal any of God's secrets I think. Schrödinger did a couple of wonderful studies on quantum rules Ann d Physik.</i> <i>That has the scent of a deeper truth. Let it be explained to you.</i></p><p><i> I'm coming to Switzerland in July. End of July is LN meeting in Geneva.</i> <i>Then I'm going somewhere in the mountains with Tete. So I'll visit you or else we can meet.</i></p><p><i> Warm regards also to Anna and Vero your</i></p><p><i> Albert</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Early in 1926 Michele Besso sent Einstein an early draft of a paper by Swiss chemist Gottfried Beck on quantum mechanics. Beck had initially submitted the paper to the Swiss scientific journal <i>Helvetica Chemica Acta</i> which rejected it as too speculative. On April 25 1926 Besso wrote to Einstein about Beck's paper. After discussing the details he writes "This surely is an amusing thing; I was surprised that you didn't write me anything about it. Here too reality is once again simpler than the theoretical conceptions would lead one to expect."</p><p>Three months later Einstein wrote to Besso regarding Beck's paper: "it is obviously particularly painful to use the quantum condition together with the equations of motion here because the validity of the latter appears to be irreconcilable with the validity of the former." Einstein was skeptical that Beck's equation "has any reality left within it in the face of quanta. I vigorously doubt it." However Einstein found the construction of the left side of the equation "surely contains a deeper truth." Einstein declared to Besso "I cannot make myself glue two things together like the left- and right-hand sides of this equation that have nothing to do with each other logico-mathematically."</p><p><b>Michele Besso</b> 1873-1955 was born in Zurich Switzerland into an Italian Jewish family. He was a close friend of Albert Einstein when they worked together at the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich and at the patent office in Bern where Einstein helped Besso get a job. Besso met his future wife Anna Winteler through Einstein in June 1897. In 1898 their son Vero was born in Winterthur Switzerland. Einstein referred to Besso as "the best sounding board in Europe" for scientific ideas. Besso died in Geneva just over one month before Einstein died in Princeton New Jersey.</p><p><b>Johann Gottfried Beck</b> 1900-1992 received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Bern in December 1925. He worked as an assistant to Heinrich Zangger at the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the University of Zurich.</p><p><b>Isidor Traube</b> 1860-1943 was born in Hanover the son of a wealthy German-Jewish merchant. He received his doctorate in organic chemistry in 1882. He founded capillary chemistry and conducted advanced research on liquids helping to define the concepts of surface tension and critical temperature. In 1882 he joined the faculty of Technische Hochshule in Berlin and became a professor of chemistry there in 1900. Unacceptable to National Socialists Traube was barred from his laboratory and he left Germany in 1934. Through the aid of British colleagues he was provided with a laboratory at the University of Edinburgh. During his long career he was a persistent and stubborn controversialist in opposition to various theories.</p><p><b>Erwin Schrödinger</b> 1887-1961 was born in Vienna Austria. He was a commissioned officer in the Austrian fortress artillery during World War I. After the war he advanced through the academic ranks to become a full professor in 1921 in Breslau now Wroclaw Poland. That year he moved to the University of Zurich and in 1927 to the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 and left Germany as he opposed the Nazis. After brief positions in a number of places he settled in Dublin Ireland in 1940 where he remained until retiring in 1955. During his career Schrödinger developed a number of fundamentals of quantum theory including the wave equation. He also published many works in various fields of physics. Although Schrödinger was an atheist he believed his scientific work was an approach to the godhead in a metaphorical sense.</p><p><b>Eduard Einstein</b> 1910-1965 was born in Zürich Switzerland to Albert and Mileva Marić Einstein. In 1914 his parents separated and his mother returned to Zürich with Eduard and older brother Hans Albert who were both deeply affected. Eduard was interested in music art and poetry. Unlike his father Eduard was a good student. He had started to study medicine and psychiatry but in 1930 was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was first institutionalized in 1932; it is not clear if his treatment particularly electroconvulsive therapy did more good than harm. Albert fondly referred to Eduard as "Tete" for <i>petit</i> and they corresponded regularly but never saw each other after a heart-breaking final visit in 1933. Marić and Eduard's Swiss citizenship undoubtedly saved Eduard from Aktion T4 the Nazi euthanasia program and perhaps both of them from the Holocaust. His mother cared for Eduard until her death in 1948 and Eduard thereafter lived mostly at a psychiatric clinic in Zurich where he died from a stroke in 1965.</p> books‎

‎The Building Blocks of Albert EinsteinÂ’s Creative Mind‎

‎<p><i><b>A unique and important artifact of his childhood.</b></i></p> <b>ALBERT EINSTEIN.</b>Ephemera. Set of Anker-Steinbaukasten children's building blocks by F. Ad. Richter & Cie. Rudolstadt Germany c.1880s. Approximately 160 composite quartz sand chalk and linseed oil blocks in red limestone and slate gray in various sizes and shapes together with three or more sets of building plans all contained in two wooden boxes with printed Anker-Steinbaukasten labels.<p>Einstein spent his childhood building "complicated structures" with these Anker-Steinbaukasten blocks. Accepting his later theory that "Imagination is more important than knowledge" the toys that encouraged his imagination became building blocks for the most important scientific theories of the last millennium.</p><p>His sister Maja Winteler-Einstein describing his childhood recalled that "The games he played … were very characteristic of Albert's capacities. These were mostly puzzles fretsaw work the erection of complicated structures with the well-known Anker building blocks and above all the construction of multi-storied card castles with which he filled his leisure." "Beitrag für sein Lebensbild" in <i>The collected papers of Albert Einstein</i>. ed. John Stachel. Volume 1: The early years. 1879-1902. Princeton University Press 1987 p.lix. Translated from German.</p><p>Based on the work of German educator Friedrich Froebel who created the concept of kindergarten these composite stone blocks were a popular toy of the 1880s and 1890s. The blocks were designed to help develop childrens' tactile senses and manual dexterity and also to stimulate imagination creativity and three-dimensional perception. Fellow scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer as well as architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Gropius are among the geniuses who are known to have played with Anker blocks. </p><p><b>Provenance</b></p><p>The set had passed by direct descent from Albert Einstein to the consignor from whom we acquired the blocks at Christie's London on July 13 2016. </p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>A few blocks chipped and worn with original instructions and boxes worn soiled and defective.</p><p><b>Albert Einstein </b>1879-1955 was a German-Swiss born theoretical physicist internationally recognized as one of the greatest physicists of all time. He enunciated the general theory of Relativity with law explaining the relationship between the speed of light and its consequence the equivalence of mass and energy E=MC2. For his work in theoretical physics—largely for his 1905 paper on photons and photo-electricity—Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics announced in November 1922 retroactive for 1921. Working on a unified field theory he then attempted to explain gravitation and electromagnetism within one set of laws. With the expulsion of Jewish scholars from Germany after Hitler's rise to power Einstein joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey 1933 which became the most celebrated research center in the world. In 1939 he signed a letter written to President Franklin Roosevelt warning him of the possibility of Germany developing a nuclear bomb. He urged the U.S. to begin uranium research thus beginning the top secret "Manhattan Project." Later at Princeton he tried to develop a unified field theory and to refute the accepted interpretation of quantum physics both unsuccessfully. Einstein received U.S. citizenship in 1940. <br /></p> books‎
