‎Theoretische Bemerkungen über die Brownsche Bewegung. Offprint‎

‎1907. Offprint from "Zeitschrift für Elektrochemie" 1907. Single sheet pp. 41-42. 287 x 206 mm. Chipped several marginal tears some toning. Fair. First edition offprint issue. "In 1907 Einstein published a paper entitled 'Theoretical Observations on the Brownian Motion' in which he considered the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle. Einstein showed that by measuring this quantity one could prove that 'the kinetic energy of the motion of the center of gravity of a particle is independent of the size and nature of the particle and independent of the nature of its environment.' This is one of the basic tenets of statistical mechanics known as the equipartition theorem. However Einstein concluded that due to the very rapid randomization of the motion the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle would be impossible to measure in practice.

‎Three Landmark Papers including Uber einen die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt; In Annalen der Physik Band 17‎

‎Leipzig: Barth 1905. First Edition. 8vo 222 x 159mm pp. 1 viii 1022. In German the first appearance anywhere of three seminal papers by Einstein each addressing a distinct problem and each now recognized as foundational for a major branch of twentieth-century physics. Original cloth publisher’s binding complete with half-title and index with light rubbing to the spine tips still near fine and exceptionally well preserved for this volume and unusually without institutional stamps or other markings. Half morocco case.<br /> <br /> The most consequential volume in the history of modern physics: a single 1905 journal containing three papers by Albert Einstein that simultaneously founded quantum theory proved the existence of atoms and overthrew Newton's conception of space and time. This is the year physics broke open. While offprints individual issues and extracted copies of one or another of these texts appear with some frequency complete and unrestored copies of the bound annual volume in contemporary cloth remain scarce and this copy is in unusually fine condition. As a unit Band 17 documents in real time the consolidation of a new theoretical framework that would reshape the subsequent development of physics. PMM 293 371 408. Dibner 167. The first paper "Über einen die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt" On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light March 1905 pp. 132–148 introduces the light quantum hypothesis and provides the first satisfactory explanation of the photoelectric effect. By treating radiation in specific circumstances as consisting of localized energy quanta rather than as a continuously distributed wave Einstein resolved the empirical failure of classical electrodynamics to account for the frequency dependence of photoelectron energies. This conceptual move directly anticipates and influences later developments in quantum theory from the formalization of the photon concept in quantum electrodynamics to the probabilistic interpretation of radiation–matter interactions in quantum field theory. It is for this work rather than for relativity that Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics underscoring its centrality to the emerging quantum paradigm.<br /> <br /> The second paper "Über die von der molekularkinetischen Theorie der Wärme geforderte Bewegung von in ruhenden Flüssigkeiten suspendierten Teilchen" On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid as Demanded by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat May 1905 pp. 549–560 furnishes a quantitative theory of Brownian motion linking observable stochastic trajectories of suspended particles to underlying molecular collisions. By deriving explicit relations between mean squared displacement time viscosity and particle size Einstein showed how microscopic randomness could be described statistically and used to infer Avogadro’s number and molecular dimensions. The experimental confirmation of these predictions provided decisive evidence for the atomic hypothesis and helped to secure statistical mechanics as a fundamental framework in physics. This work underlies later advances in the theory of stochastic processes diffusion and fluctuation phenomena with ramifications from critical phenomena and noise in electronic devices to modern treatments of random walks and Langevin dynamics.<br /> <br /> The third paper "Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper" On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies September 1905 pp. 891–921 formulates the Special Theory of Relativity reconciling Maxwell’s equations with the principle that the laws of physics take the same form in all inertial frames. By abandoning absolute simultaneity and treating space and time as components of a single relativistic structure Einstein derived time dilation length contraction and the relativity of simultaneity as necessary consequences of his postulates. A short follow-up note later in 1905 "Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig" Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content established the mass–energy relation E = mc² providing the bridge between kinematics and energetics in the relativistic regime. Together these contributions supplied the conceptual and mathematical apparatus for later developments in relativistic field theory including Minkowski’s spacetime formulation the construction of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory and ultimately the General Theory of Relativity and modern cosmology.<br /> <br /> Considered collectively the three 1905 papers in this volume inaugurate quantum theory provide decisive empirical and theoretical support for the molecular-kinetic view of matter and reconfigure the classical concepts of space time and motion. They set the stage for the principal theoretical revolutions of twentieth-century physics: the matrix and wave formulations of quantum mechanics quantum electrodynamics and later gauge field theories relativistic quantum field theory and the geometric theory of gravitation. As a complete contemporary issue of "Annalen der Physik" Band 17 this volume thus embodies not only three individual breakthroughs but also the point of departure for much of modern physical theory exerting an enduring influence on the trajectory of both fundamental physics and its technological applications.

‎Two-body problem in general relativity theory"‎

‎Lancaster PA: American Physical Society 1 March 1936. Second series volume 49 number 5. Very Good. ppl 341-422. Original green wraps. Slight nick at bottom edge of lower wrap else better than very good. <br /><br />Includes the retort by Einstein and Rosen originators of speculation on the existence of "worm-holes" in spacetime to objections made to the general theory of relativity. According to Galina Weinstein: "Between 1935 and 1936 Einstein was occupied with the Schwarzschild solution and the singularity within it while working in Princeton on the unified field theory and with his assistant Nathan Rosen on the theory of the Einstein-Rosen bridges. He was also occupied with quantum theory. He believed that quantum theory was an incomplete representation of real things. Together with Rosen and Boris Podolsky he invented the EPR paradox. I demonstrate that the two-body problem in general relativity was a heuristic guide in Einstein's and collaborators' 1935 work on the Einstein-Rosen bridge and EPR paradox." <br /> <br />Also articles by notable physicists on radioactivity electron mobility quantum-mechanical measurement and so on.

‎Typed Letter Signed with Autograph Annotation‎

‎<p>Princeton NJ: np 1953. First edition. custom folder. Very Good. TOWARDS THE END OF HIS LIFE EINSTEIN WRITES TO ONE OF HIS FRIENDS FROM THE PATENT OFFICE CONCERNING ONE OF THE CENTRAL STRUGGLES OF HIS SCIENTIFIC LIFE.<br /><br />COMMENTING ON THE WORK OF DIRAC EINSTEIN ADMITS THAT ALTHOUGH HE "CAN'T TAKE A STATISTICAL FOUNDATION OF PHYSICS SERIOUSLY" HE FINDS IT "DIFFICULT TO MOVE BEYOND IT". Background:<br /><br />Einstein's struggle with accepting a strictly statistical quantum theory has been one of the most discussed and debated topics of twentieth-century physics. When introduced to the statistically-based quantum mechanics of Heisenberg Born and Jordan in 1926 Einstein famously wrote to Max Born that "Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the 'old one.' I at any rare am convinced that He is not playing at dice." Einstein letter to Born from 4 December 1926.<br /><br />From the onset "Einstein regarded the quantum theory as descriptively incomplete. What he meant was that in typical cases the probabilistic assertions provided by the theory for an individual quantum system do not exhaust all the relevant and true physical assertions about the system. Put briefly according to Einstein the typical statistical story told by quantum theory is not the whole story." Arthur Fine "What is Einstein's Statistical Interpretation or Is It Einstein for Whom Bell's Theorem Tolls". <br /><br />Einstein's discomfort with the new theory haunted him for the next three decades and his challenges to the theory were the cause of some of the most fertile and defining moments of modern science notably the celebrated "Bohr-Einstein debates" begun at the Fifth Solvay Conference 1927 and his monumentally influential "EPR" paper of 1935 "Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete" written with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen.<br /><br />As late as 1949 in his "Reply to Criticisms" published in Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist Einstein notes that Born and Wolfgang Pauli in their contributions to the volume "deprecate the fact that I reject the basic idea of contemporary statistical quantum theory insofar as I do not believe that this fundamental concept will provide a useful basis for the whole of physics" and spends the majority of the essay explaining his position and distinguishing between his acceptance of the model for "ensembles of systems" while still rejecting it for an "individual physical system".<br /><br />The letter:<br /><br />Dated September 12 1953 and written to his old colleague at the patent office in Bern Joseph Sauter the letter translated from the original German reads in full:<br /><br />Dear Mr. Sauter<br /><br />If I am able to I will gladly assist Mr. Keberle.<br /><br />I have heard of you often from my old friend Besso and I have also received a manuscript which deals critically with handwritten Dirac's presentation of the statistical approach to quantum theory. I have not been able to judge it myself because it is simply impossible for me to take a statistical foundation of physics seriously. But I have to admit that it is difficult to move beyond it.<br /><br />Yours sincerely <br /><br />signed A. Einstein.<br />Albert Einstein.<br /><br />The recipient Joseph Sauter worked with Einstein at the Bern Patent office during the years he was developing the ideas for his revolutionary papers of 1905. "Among his colleagues at the Patent Office Einstein discovered one with similar scientific interests-Dr. Josef Sauter a French-Swiss who had also studied at the Polytechnic and who had been Professor Weber's chief assistant for a while. Sauter like Einstein tried to fill the gaps in the Polytechnic's syllabus by private study so that Einstein was able to discuss with him Maxwell's thermodynamics and Helmholtz's and Hertz's theoretical concepts. The two also discussed Einstein's publications on thermodynamics with the result that Sauter discovered a mistake in them which Einstein accepted 'without being the least upset.' Fifty years later Einstein recalled 'that I had a lot of discussions with Sauter about. my thermal-statistical papers'. At least as important as his help with the 'rewriting and amending' were Sauter's connections with scientific circles in Bern to which he soon introduced his new colleague." Albrecht Fölsing Albert Einstein. <br /><br />Edouard Keberle mentioned in the first line by Einstein was a Bulgarian physicist who at the time of the letter had just left the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Bern over a publication dispute. Not long after this letter - in early 1954 - Keberle accepted a post at the Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City. It is unclear if Einstein helped him in any way to get this position.<br /><br />Michele Besso - also mentioned in this letter - was Einstein's close lifelong friend.<br /><br />What prompts Einstein to declare that "it is simply impossible for me to take a statistical foundation of physics seriously" is the mention of a manuscript on the work of Paul Dirac. Philosophically Dirac was almost the opposite of Einstein - he had no interest in probing the interpretations of quantum theory wryly noting in his paper "The Inadequacies of Quantum Field Theory" that "The interpretation of quantum mechanics has been dealt with by many authors and I do not want to discuss it here. I want to deal with more fundamental things."<br /><br />It is revealing in this letter that although Einstein re-states his objection to a statistical basis of quantum theory he has doubts about his position admitting - less than two years before his death - that he still has difficulty moving beyond it. <br /><br />Typed Letter Signed.
