‎Knowledge of Past and Future in Quantum Mechanics‎

‎Lancaster: Physical Review 1931. First Edition. Original wrappers. Fine. FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of Einstein's paper outlining a thought experiment to suggest that the uncertainty principle requires the acknowledgement of an indeterminate past. "To Heisenberg at the 1920's only the prediction of the future was important and the mathematical theory assisted him to calculate the probability of the end-state given the initial state: the description of the intermediate development of the system between two objectively recorded or recordable states did not seem to correspond to physical reality. <br /> <br /> "On the other hand Einstein as a critic of quantum physics did not admit Heisenberg's standpoint especially that the indeterminacy principle does not refer to the past. In the paper 'Knowledge of Past and Future in Quantum Mechanics' 1931 Einstein proposed an imaginary experiment in which 'the possibility of describing the past path of one particle would lead to predictions as to the future behavior of a second particle of a kind not allowed in the quantum mechanics.' So Einstein concluded that 'the principle of the quantum mechanics must involve an indeterminacy in the description of past events which is analogous to the indeterminacy in the prediction of future events.'<br /> <br /> "This should be understood in the context of Einstein's argument against the 'completeness' of quantum physics just in the same way that the purpose of the EPR argument 1935 was to show that the 'completeness' of quantum physics would lead to absurdity. In other words Einstein did not positively assert the existence of indeterminate past events but only intended to deduce it as the necessary conclusion of the 'completeness' of quantum physics.<br /> <br /> "The problem of the 'indeterminate' past re-appeared about fifty years later in J. A. Wheeler's discussion of the 'delayed-choice' experiment. This experiment is not an imaginary but an actual one which uses one particle say photon instead of two particles in Einstein's case.<br /> <br /> "After confirming the fact that what we can say of past events is decided by delayed choices made in the near past and now Wheeler discusses the possibility that the phenomena called into being by the present decision can reach backward in time even to the earliest days of the universe. He says:<br /> <br /> 'To use other language we are dealing with an elementary act of creation. It reaches into the present from billions of years in the past. It is wrong to think of the past as "already existing" in all detail. The "past" is theory. The past has no existence except as it is recorded in the present. By deciding what questions our quantum registering equipment shall put in the present we have an undeniable choice in what we have the right to say about the past.'<br /> <br /> "The interpretation of the indeterminacy principle will be altered if we accept the concept of the past indeterminacy. Heisenberg originally considered this principle as the limit of the exactitude of two incommensurable quantities at the simultaneous measurement. But the indeterminacy of past events which have not been recorded have a connection not with their simultaneous measurability but rather with the definability of their historic routes. That the definition of the past route or history of a particle depends on the present choice of an experimenter is the meaning of the 'indeterminate past'" Yutaka Tanaka "The 'Individuality of a Quantum Event".

‎EINSTEIN Albert‎

‎Autograph postcard signed with original sketches‎

‎1923. Signed. EINSTEIN Albert. Autograph postcard signed with original sketches. Near Jerusalem circa February 5 1923. Postcard illustrated with a rendering of the Red Star Liner Belgenland measuring 5-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches with two sketches by Einstein on the recto and autograph letter by Einstein in German along with an autograph letter by his traveling companion on the verso. $49000.Extremely rare autograph postcard signed written by Einstein during his visit to Palestine�one of only a couple manuscript items from this visit known to exist�featuring a very rare self-portrait sketch by Einstein as well as a sketch of the traveling companion he mentions in his letter. Letter in German.Einstein writes to noted Zionist Arthur Ruppin in full translated from German: ""To my dear Mr. Ruppin We are having unforgettable days in Palestine. With the sun shining in cheerful company. Your wife is standing next to me and looking at what I am writing about her. She is counting the days until you come back. Yours A. Einstein."" At the time Ruppin had been on an extended fundraising trip in the United States see: Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle December 15 1922. Above his note Hanna Ruppin also writes her husband translated: ""Dear Arthur A pleasant tour of the city. Included is a picture by Prof. Einstein. Warm greetings Hanna."" True to her word on the recto Einstein had drawn a diminutive self-portrait signed below together with a rendering of ""Frau Ruppin."" Above the drawings he added the words ""Jerusalem"" ""Heiligenschein"" or ""halo"" with an arrow pointing to the halo-like marks over his self-portrait's head. Einstein's depiction of himself as a rotund almost comical figure stands in contrast to the elegantly-dressed ""Frau Ruppin"" with her stylish hat shapely figure and umbrella. A newly minted celebrity following the reception of the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics Einstein was on his return to Europe following a six-month lecture tour that took him as far as Japan in late 1922. He returned to Europe via Sri Lanka and the Suez Canal stopping at Port Said on February 1 1923 for two weeks in Palestine. Einstein made the stop at the invitation of Arthur Ruppin 1876-1943 an early Zionist thinker and leader. Academically trained in Germany in economics and law Ruppin was awarded the Krupp prize in 1899 for his dissertation on Darwinism and industry. He joined the Zionist Organization in 1905 and acted as a land agent to purchase land in Palestine in order to facilitate the migration of European Jews. From 1933 to 1935 he headed the Jewish Agency which assisted German Jews fleeing Nazi persecution in settling in Palestine. At the time of Einstein's visit to Palestine Ruppin was on an extended fundraising tour in the United States Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle December 15 1922 p. 10. From Port Said Einstein boarded a train for Jerusalem where he was greeted not unlike a visiting head of state in light of his of recent scientific achievements as well as his support of the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. The first night Einstein was the guest of an aide to the British High Commissioner for the Palestinian Mandate and he spent the next two days informally touring the Old City as well as taking a trip to the Dead Sea via Jericho. February 5th marked the first day of his official tour organized by the Zionists. Writing in his travel diary he recorded translated: ""Tour of two Jewish colonial settlements west of Jerusalem belonging to the city. The construction is carried out by Jewish workers' cooperative in which the leaders are elected. The workers arrive without specialized knowledge or expertise and achieve excellence after a short time. The leaders are paid no more than the workers."" According to corresponding sources Einstein's first visit that morning was to the suburb of Beth Hakerem in the west of Jerusalem accompanied by Hanna Ruppin together with Hadassah Samuel and Solomon Ginzburg. see: Ha'aretz and Doar Hayom February 7 1923 and Kark and Oren-Nordheim 2001 p. 169. On the afternoon of February 7th Einstein delivered the inaugural lecture on the future sight of the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus an institution in which he was intimately involved . There he apologized for not being able to deliver his address in Hebrew and then proceeded to give a 90 minute talk in perfect French outlining his theory of relativity Einstein Collected Papers Volume 13 p. lxvi. After Jerusalem Einstein travelled to Tel Aviv where Mayor Meir Dizengoff bestowed him the honor of honorary citizenship upon which he remarked ""I have already had the privilege of receiving an honorary citizenship of the City of New York but I am tenfold happier to be a citizen of this beautiful Jewish town."" In his travel diary Einstein recorded his favorable impressions of the young Jewish settlement: ""The accomplishments of the Jews in just a few years in this city arouses the highest admiration� An incredibly active people our Jews."" Travel Diary February 8 1923. His tour continued with visits to Haifa and Tiberious and ending in Jerusalem before he departed via rail for Port Said the morning of February 14th. On February 16th he embarked on the R.M.S. Ormuz for Marseilles. From there he travelled to Spain delivering lectures in Barcelona and Madrid. Although Einstein would never again travel to Palestine he continued to support efforts to promote Jewish settlement and especially the Hebrew University. Upon the death of Israel's first President Chaim Weizmann Abba Eban the Israeli Ambassador to the United States formally offered him the post. Although deeply moved by the offer he did not believe himself qualified for such a position. New York Times Nov. 19 1952 p. 1 Although Einstein used a postcard for the Red Star Line Belgenland he did not sail aboard the ship as it had yet to make its maiden voyage April 1923. However Einstein's last voyage to Europe was aboard the Belgenland in 1933. Arriving in Antwerp he learned that Adolf Hitler had become Chancellor of Germany. Realizing that he could never reside in Germany again he left first for Great Britain and then the United States where he became a citizen in 1940. This letter is extremely rare. Letters written by Einstein during his only visit to Palestine are virtually unknown and no examples have appeared at auction for the past forty years. The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein record only two other pieces of manuscript apart from his travel diary written during this period: a February 11 1923 ALS to Chaim Weizmann written from Haifa location of original not presently known and an ALS February 14 1923 written to Arthur S. Eddington now part of the collections of the University of Cambridge. Although Einstein was known to accomplish drawings signed self-portraits are virtually unknown. We are aware of only three other examples none of which have ever sold at public auction nor are we aware of a private sale of the same. Faint horizontal crease with a tiny tear at left margin does not affect the drawings or Einstein's note on the verso minor rub spot below address line. About-fine condition. unknown‎

‎EINHEITLICHEN FELDTHEORIE VON A. EINSTEIN. Sonderabdruck aus den Sitzungsberichten der Preussischen Akademie Der Wissenschaften Phys.-Math Klasse 1929‎

‎Berlin: Verlag Der Akademie der Wissenschaften 1929. An important offprint first edition. With mathematical formulas in text. Small folio in the original orange off-print paper wrappers printed in black on both covers. 8 pp. Very fine nearly as new. A RARE AND IMPORTANT OFFPRINT. EINHEITLICHEN FELDTHEORIE which means "A Coherent Theory of the Electro-Magnetic Field" and is the title of a five-page paper of highest mathematical formulae which Relativist Albert Einstein worked on for ten years. His report is a purely mathematical extension of the general theory of relativity to include gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena.<br> His relativity theory which he phrased within only three printed pages made time & space the creator of matter. When this paper on the Unified Field Theory was published it was a headline story in the newspapers. Few if any people understood the complex mathematics but many were fascinated by the thought that Einstein had possibly came up with a new theory expanding on "General Relativity" and unifying the fundamental forces of nature. It is considered Einstein's last important scientific work Weil #165.<br> "In 1928 Einstein embarked on a new approach to a unified field theory. involving what he called 'distant parallelism'. By early 1929 he had solved the main problems involved in writing down field equations for his unified field theory. On the day of official publication of the third of a formidably technical series of nine articles on the theory. excited headlines appeared in foreign newspapers throughout the world. In this frenzied unscientific atmosphere Einstein's new theory was hailed in the press as an outstanding scientific advance. Yet Einstein had stated in his article that this was still tentative; and soon he found he had to abandon it" Hoffmann/Dukas ''Albert Einstein: Creator and Rebel'' 1972 pp. 225-226 Verlag Der Akademie der Wissenschaften unknown‎
