‎Kosmologische Betrachtungen zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie. Offprint from: Sitzungsberichte der Königlich preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften … physikalisch-mathematischen Klasse VI 1917‎

‎Berlin: W. de Gruyter 1917. First edition. <p>LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN THEORIES OF THE UNIVERSE</p> . <p>First edition extremely rare author’s presentation offprint not to be confused with the more common trade separate – see below from the library of the great German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld of Einstein’s ‘cosmological constant’ paper which “laid the foundations of modern theories of the universe†O’Raifeartaigh. “There is little doubt that Einstein’s 1917 paper ‘Cosmological Considerations in the General Theory of Relativity’ constituted a key milestone in 20th century physics. As the first relativistic model of the universe the paper later known as ‘Einstein’s Static Universe’ or the ‘Einstein World’ set the foundations of modern theoretical cosmology†O’Raifeartaigh et al. “It is generally agreed that the seeds of a revolution in theoretical cosmology were planted when Einstein completed his general theory of relativity in the fall of 1915. On 25 November he read to the Prussian Academy of Sciences the final communication which contained a consistent set of gravitational equations. One and a half years later in a paper announced on 8 February 1917 Einstein took the revolutionary step of exploring the consequences of his new theory for no less than the entire universe†Kragh p. 8. “The consequence of Einstein’s version of Mach’s principle is that at infinity the components of the metric tensor should degenerate: for an isotropic field the spatial components become zero whereas the timelike component goes to infinity. It turned out to be impossible to realize these conditions for centrally symmetric static fields. Einstein’s way out was to postulate a universe that is spatially finite closed and static with a uniform mass distribution a universe in which no boundary conditions are needed. In order to do so however Einstein had to modify his field equations to include what became known as the ‘cosmological constant’†Papers 6 p. xx. Max Born said of Einstein’s conception “This suggestion of a finite but unbounded space is one of the greatest ideas about the nature of the worlds which has ever been conceived … It solved the mysterious fact why the system of stars did not disperse and thin out which it would do if space were infinite; it gave a physical meaning to Mach’s principle which postulated that the law of inertia should not be regarded as a property of empty space but as an effect of the total system of stars; and it opened the way to the concept of the expanding universe†quoted in Clark p. 270. The ‘Einstein world’ described a static universe but in 1929 Edwin Hubble demonstrated that the universe is not static but expanding. Soon after Einstein rejected his cosmological constant as unnecessary and compromising the simplicity of his field equations. Nevertheless recent discoveries regarding dark matter and dark energy suggest that the cosmological constant may have a role to play in the explanation of the fact that the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating. OCLC lists copies of this offprint at American Philosophical Society Burndy Huntington and University of Florida but it is unclear if any of these are author’s presentation offprints rather than trade separates. We have been unable to locate any other presentation offprint on RBH – it was not present in the collection of Einstein’s son Hans Albert Christie’s 2006 nor in Einstein’s own collection Christie’s 2008. RBH lists only four copies of the trade separate in the last 75 years the last sold at Bonham’s in 2022 for $15300.</p> <br /> <p>Provenance: Arnold Sommerfeld 1868-1951 his characteristic numbering ‘36’ in red pencil on front wrapper. “The son of a physician Sommerfeld was educated at the University of Königsberg. After teaching briefly at the universities of Göttingen Clausthal and Aachen he was appointed professor of physics at the University of Münich in 1906. Sommerfeld should have retired in 1936 in favour of his pupil Werner Heisenberg. Opposition from the Nazi party to Heisenberg’s appointment prolonged Sommerfeld’s tenure and it was not in fact until late 1939 that he finally retired to be succeeded not by Heisenberg but by Wilhelm Müller a Nazi aerodynamicist without a single publication in physics to his credit. Although Sommerfeld and Heisenberg were not Jewish they were regarded by the Nazis as Jewish sympathizers. Sommerfeld however survived the war and returned to his Münich chair in 1945 continuing to work at physics until he died in a car accident in 1951†Oxford Reference. “Arnold Sommerfeld was one of the most distinguished representatives of the transition period between classical and modern theoretical physics. The work of his youth was still firmly anchored in the conceptions of the nineteenth century; but when in the first decennium of the century the flood of new discoveries experimental and theoretical broke the dams of tradition he became a leader of the new movement and in combining the two ways of thinking he exerted a powerful influence on the younger generation. This combination of a classical mind to whom clarity of conception and mathematical rigour are essential with the adventurous spirit of a pioneer are the roots of his scientific success while his exceptional gift of communicating his ideas by spoken and written word made him a great teacher†Max Born p. 275. </p> <br /> <p>“The new relativistic theory of the universe had conceptual roots far back in time especially in problems discussed by Newton in a famous correspondence with the Reverend Richard Bentley in 1692-93 first published as Four letters from Sir Isaac Newton to Doctor Bentley … London 1756. Newton considered the universe as an infinite container with an infinite number of stars but in that case it seemed impossible to define the gravitational force acting upon a body in a definite way. Later scientists sought to resolve the dilemma by keeping to Newton’s idea of an infinite space but including a modification of his law of gravitation. In the mid-1890s two German theoreticians Carl von Neumann and Hugo Seeliger suggested independently that the amount of matter in the spatially infinite universe was finite. Although this led to a well-defined gravitational force it also led to a universe which would seem to collapse under the influence of gravitation as realized by Newton. To avoid this consequence Neumann and Seeliger proposed to change Newton’s law of gravitation …</p> <br /> <p>“When Einstein attacked the cosmological problem he was much aware of the Newtonian anomaly and earlier attempts to solve it such as that of Neumann and Seeliger. He wrote: ‘I shall conduct the reader over the road that I have myself travelled rather a rough and winding road because otherwise I cannot hope that he will take much interest in the result at the end of the journey. The conclusion I shall arrive at is that the field equations of gravitation which I have championed hitherto still need a slight modification so that on the basis of the general theory of relativity those fundamental difficulties may be avoided … which confronted the Newtonian theory.’</p> <br /> <p>“That the road to the cosmological theory had been rough and winding an intellectual tour de force was also what Einstein wrote to his friend the Dutch physicist Paul Ehrenfest. In early February 1917 Einstein told him that the work had exposed him ‘to the danger of being confined in a madhouse.’ The conceptual problem which Einstein faced was essentially the same as that Newton had struggled with namely to formulate boundary conditions for an infinite space. In December 1916 he argued in a letter to his friend Michele Besso that a homogeneous symmetrical distribution of matter throughout all of infinite space would not be sufficient to produce the stable universe that both he and Besso presupposed. ‘Only the closedness of the universe can get rid of this dilemma’ he wrote and added that his new idea was ‘one of great scientific significance and not a product of my imagination.’ Einstein’s solution was to circumvent the problem which he could do by conceiving the universe as a spatially closed continuum in accordance with his general theory of relativity: ‘If it were possible to regard the universe as a continuum which is finite closed with respect to its spatial dimension we should have no need at all of any such boundary conditions. We shall proceed to show that both the general postulate of relativity and the fact of the small stellar velocities are compatible with the hypothesis of a spatially finite universe; though certainly in order to carry through this idea we need a generalizing modification of the field equations of gravitation.’ Einstein thus assumed the universe to be a spatially closed continuum ‘spherical’ in four dimensions. This model is also referred to as Einstein's ‘cylinder’ world: with two of the spatial dimensions suppressed the model universe can be pictured as a cylinder where the radius represents the space and the axis the time coordinate. Einstein was also and naturally so guided by the available empirical evidence. This suggested that the universe was indeed spatially finite that it was static and that it contained a finite amount of matter …</p> <br /> <p>“Apart from being influenced by the existing discussion of Newtonian cosmology Einstein was also motivated by the ideas of the famous Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach. According to Mach’s principle proposed in the 1880s the laws of mechanics including the law of inertia should be seen as purely relational namely relative to the universe as a whole. Einstein’s version of the principle was rather different; he tended to understand it in the sense that the space-time metric is determined by the masses of the universe and thus that the local dynamics is conditioned by the universe at large. In general Mach’s principle is interpreted as the assumption that local inertial frames are determined by some average of the motion of the distant celestial objects. Originally Einstein believed that his relativistic theory of cosmology embodied Mach’s principle but in his later years he concluded that the principle could not be harmonized with the general theory of relativity†Kragh pp. 7-9.</p> <br /> <p>“Only a year before publishing the present work Einstein had finally completed his great masterwork a new theory of gravity space and time known as the general theory of relativity. From a scientific point of view it is hardly surprising that Einstein quickly turned his attention to cosmology. A fundamental tenet of the general theory was that the geometric structure of a region of spacetime is not an independent self-determined entity but is determined by mass–energy. In modern notation that idea is expressed as the field equations</p> <br /> <p>Gμν = −κTμν 1</p> <br /> <p>where Gμν is a four-dimensional tensor that describes the geometry of a region of spacetime and Tμνis a four-dimensional tensor that describes the flux of mass–energy within that region the quantity κ is a constant known as the Einstein constant. Once Einstein had completed the theory it was natural for him to ask if general relativity could deliver a consistent model of all of spacetime—a plausible model of the universe as a whole. As he remarked in a letter to the Dutch astronomer Willem de Sitter ‘For me though it was a burning question whether the relativity concept can be followed through to the finish or whether it leads to contradictions.’</p> <br /> <p>“Einstein soon found that assuming a universe with a static distribution of matter evidence to the contrary did not emerge until 1929 it was no easy task to obtain a satisfactory solution to the field equations for the case of the universe as a whole. The main difficulty was his insistence that a model of the cosmos should reflect both the principle of relativity which demanded that all frames of reference be equivalent and an assumption he later named Mach’s principle—that the inertia of a body is determined entirely by the presence of other masses in the universe.</p> <br /> <p>“The outcome of those deliberations was Einstein’s ‘Cosmological considerations’ paper of 1917. His ingenious breakthrough was to postulate that we inhabit a universe of closed spatial geometry. Relativity could deliver a satisfactory model of the known universe if it was assumed that the cosmos had the geometry of a three-dimensional sphere—unbounded spatially yet finite in content. However the Einstein universe came at a price. In his analysis Einstein found that a nonzero solution to the field equations could be obtained only if a new term was introduced to the equations according to:</p> <br /> <p>Gμν λgμν = −κTμν. 2</p> <br /> <p>To some the new term λgμν known as the ‘cosmological constant’ term marred the symmetry and simplicity of the original field equations. However general relativity certainly permitted the term; indeed Einstein had noted the possibility of such an extension to the field equations in his original exposition of 1916. Now the cosmological constant found an important application because it allowed a model of the universe that was consistent with Einstein’s views on the relativity of inertia …</p> <br /> <p>“Einstein’s analysis culminated in a simple relation between the cosmological constant λ the mean density of matter Ï and the radius of the cosmos R according to</p> <br /> <p>λ = κÏ/2= 1/R2. 3</p> <br /> <p>“One puzzling aspect of Einstein’s ‘Cosmological considerations’ paper is that he made no attempt to estimate the size of his model universe from equation 3. After all even a rough approximation of the mean density of matter in the universe could have given some estimate of the cosmic radius R. Instead he merely declared at the end of the paper that the model was logically consistent: ‘At any rate this view is logically consistent and from the standpoint of the general theory of relativity lies nearest at hand; whether from the standpoint of present astronomical knowledge it is tenable will not here be discussed’ …</p> <br /> <p>“A second puzzle associated with the ‘Cosmological considerations’ paper is Einstein’s failure to consider the stability of his model universe. After all the quantity Ï in equation 3 represented a mean value for the density of matter in the universe; one could expect a variation in that parameter from time to time which raises the question of the stability of the model against such perturbations. Indeed it was later shown that the Einstein universe is highly unstable against perturbations in matter density a slight increase in density would trigger an inexorable contraction while a slight decrease would result in a runaway expansion …</p> <br /> <p>“In 1929 American astronomer Edwin Hubble published the first evidence of a linear relation between the redshifts of the spiral nebulae and their radial distance. Many theorists viewed Hubble’s results as evidence of a non-static universe and proposed a variety of relativistic time-varying models of the cosmos. Einstein himself lost little time in abandoning his static cosmology at that point. In the early 1930s he published two distinct models of the expanding universe one of positive spatial curvature and one of Euclidean geometry. In each case he also abandoned the cosmological constant stating that the term was both unsatisfactory it gave an unstable solution and redundant relativity could describe expanding models of the universe without the term …</p> <br /> <p>“Some years later the Russian scientist George Gamow reported in his memoirs that Einstein once described the cosmological constant as his ‘biggest blunder’ … It is intriguing to think that Einstein might have predicted the expansion of the universe many years before Hubble’s observations had he not introduced the cosmological constant. However it must be remembered that Einstein’s task in 1917 was to investigate whether relativity could describe the known universe that is a universe that was assumed to be static. If Einstein did make the ‘biggest blunder’ comment he may have been referring to his failure to notice the instability of his model†O’Raifeartaigh.</p> <br /> <p>“In the latter third of the twentieth century the situation in cosmology began to change dramatically. Theoretical cosmology became more and more closely associated with elementary particle theory and observational cosmology began to accumulate more and more data limiting the possibilities for and influencing the construction of cosmological models. The cosmological constant has had a dramatic rebirth with the accumulating observation evidence that rather than slowing down as current theories had predicted the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating with cosmic time. By an appropriate choice of sign and value for λ cosmological models with this property are easily constructed. The problem is to give a physical explanation for such a choice of λ. One favored explanation as of 2007 is that the λ-term in the field equations is actually the stress-energy-momentum tensor for ‘dark energy’ a hitherto unobserved component pervading the entire universe. If this explanation stands the test of time it may also turn out that the ‘cosmological constant’ is not constant but varies with cosmological time!†DSB.</p> <br /> <p>“Today the term cosmological constant has made a dramatic return to the field equations due to the observation of an acceleration in the expansion of the cosmos. It might therefore be argued that Einstein’s real blunder was to abandon the term in the 1930s. However such a view is once again somewhat retrospective because evidence of an accelerated expansion was not known to him.</p> <br /> <p>“In recent years the Einstein universe has once more become a topic of interest in theoretical cosmology. In attempts to avoid the well-known problem of a big bang singularity some theorists have become interested in the possibility of a universe that inflates from a static Einstein universe a scenario known as the emergent universe. Whether the emergent universe will offer a plausible consistent description of the early universe is not yet known. But it is intriguing to think that like the cosmological constant the Einstein universe might yet make a dramatic comeback†O’Raifeartaigh.</p> <br /> <p>This author’s presentation offprint is of extreme rarity and must be distinguished from other so-called ‘offprints’ of papers from the Berlin Sitzungsberichte many of which are commonly available on the market. The celebrated bookseller Ernst Weil 1919-1981 in the introduction to his Einstein bibliography wrote: “I have often been asked about the number of those offprints. It seems to be certain that there were few before 1914. They were given only to the author and mostly ‘Überreicht vom Verfasser’ Presented by the Author is printed on the wrapper. Later on I have no doubt many more offprints were made and also sold as such especially by the Berlin Academy.†If the term ‘offprint’ means as we believe it should a separate printing of a journal article given only to the author for distribution to colleagues then ‘offprints’ were not commercially available. Although there is certainly some truth in Weil’s remark in our view it requires clarification and explanation.</p> <br /> <p>Until about 1916 most of Einstein’s papers were published in Annalen der Physik; from 1916 until he left Germany for the United States in 1933 most were published in the Berlin Sitzungsberichte. The Sitzungsberichte differed from other journals in which Einstein published in that it made separate printings of its papers commercially available. These separate printings have ‘Sonderabdruck’ printed on the front wrapper the usual German term for offprint but they are not offprints according to our definition. They were available to anyone; indeed a price list of these ‘trade offprints’ is printed on the rear wrapper. True author’s presentation offprints can be distinguished from these trade offprints by the presence of ‘Überreicht vom Verfasser’ on the front wrapper as in the present offprint.</p> <br /> <p>In the period 1916 to 1919 or 1920 the Sitzungsberichte trade offprints are themselves rare: for example RBH list only three ‘offprints’ of Einstein’s famous 1917 Sitzungsberichte paper ‘Kosmologische Betrachtungen zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie’ the auction records do not distinguish between trade and author’s presentation offprints. After 1919 or 1920 however the trade offprints become much more common although the author’s presentation offprints are still very rare. The reason for this change is that it was only in 1919 that Einstein became famous among the general public.</p> <br /> <p>It might seem obvious that Einstein’s fame dates from 1905 his ‘annus mirabilis’ in which he published his epoch-making papers on special relativity and the light quantum. However these works did not make him immediately well known even in the physics community – many physicists did not understand or accept his work and it was two or three years before his genius was fully accepted even by his colleagues. Among the general public Einstein became well known only in late 1919 following the success of Eddington’s expedition to observe the bending of light by the Sun which confirmed Einstein’s general theory of relativity. This was front-page news and made Einstein universally famous. See Chapter 16 ‘The suddenly famous Doctor Einstein’ in Pais Subtle is the Lord for an account of these events. Before 1919 the trade offprints of Einstein’s papers would probably only have been purchased by professional physicists; after 1919 everyone wanted a memento of the famous Dr. Einstein whether or not they understood anything of theoretical physics and the trade offprints of his papers were printed and sold in far greater numbers than before to meet the demand. It is telling that when these post-1919 trade offprints appear on the market they are often in mint condition – they were never read simply because their owners were unable to understand them.</p> <br /> <p>In our view Einstein’s author’s presentation offprints are rare from any journal and any period though of course some are rarer than others. Before 1919 or 1920 the Sitzungsberichte trade offprints are also rare although not are rare as the author’s presentation offprints; after 1919 or 1920 the trade offprints are much more common.</p> <br /> <p>BRL 96; Weil 92.
