"Einstein and Grommer's work treats the particle as a singularity in the field and attemptss to obtain the equations of motion by imposing conditions on the exterior field in the neighborhood of the singularity" Stachel Einstein from 'B' to'Z' pp. 507. Weil 155. In 1927 Einstein's research "concentrated on a new approach to the problem of the motion of particles in a general field theory" Mehra The Golden Age of Theoretical Physics 997. He presented his work conducted with Jakob Grommer in this report. Einstein and Grommer here show that 'in the case of a pure gravitational field the mechanical behavior of singularities can be derived' a result which in Einstein's opinion 'opened the possibility to obtain on the basis of the field equations a theory of matter characterized as discontinuities in space' ibid 997; Einstein and Grommer 1927. "After Einstein had tried for years to obtain a theory of material particles in a generalized field theory by describing these objects with the help of continuous functions Einstein and Grommer now proposed 'to consider elementary particles as singular points or singular world lines respectively' motivated by the observation 'that both the equations of the pure gravitational field and the equations augmented by Maxwell's electromagnetic field possess simple spherically-symmetric solutions which contain a singularity' ibid. Finally they arrived at the result: In the approximation of the gravitational field obtained by solving linearized equations the equation of motion for a singularity is completely determined - at least in the case of equilibrium - and corresponds to the law of a geodetic line" ibid.

Ather und Relativitatstheorie. Rede gehalten am 5 Mai 1920 an der Reichs Universitat zu Leiden

1920ref. 1433Berlin: Julius Springer 1920. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS OF EINSTEIN'S LEIDEN LECTURE EXPLAINING AT LENGTH HIS THEORY OF THE ETHER ALONG WITH THOSE OF LORENTZ & MAXWELL. Very good condition. "Einstein's lecture at the University of Leiden on the occasion of his appointment as a visiting professor summarized his current views on the ether and retrospectively looked at the development of his opinions on the physical properties of space" Calaprice The Einstein Almanac 86. In this lecture Einstein recanted his earlier denial of the ether writing: "Recapitulating we may say that according to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in this sense therefore there exists an ether. According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time measuring-rods and clocks nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense. But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time. The idea of motion may not be applied to it" Einstein Ather 1920. In this lecture Einstein also sought "to reconcile his theory of relativity with his mentor's Lorentz's cherished concept of the aether. Einstein stressed that special relativity took away the last mechanical property of Lorentz's aether: immobility. However he continued that special relativity does not necessarily rule out the aether because the latter can be used to give physical reality to acceleration and rotation. This concept was fully elaborated within general relativity in which physical properties which are partially determined by matter are attributed to space but no substance or state of motion can be attributed to that "aether" aether = curved space-time" Wikipedia.

EINSTEIN, ALBERT; MAYER, WALTHERBiblio.com

Autograph Letter. WITH: Manuscript Leaf of Calculations

1932ref. 3054Caputh Germany: np 1932. First edition. Very Good. AN IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC LETTER FROM EINSTEIN TO HIS CLOSEST MATHEMATICAL COLLABORATOR ACCOMPANIED BY A MANUSCRIPT LEAF OF CALCULATIONS IN EINSTEIN'S HAND ON THE SAME LINE OF RESEARCH. Although the original association of the letter and the leaf of calculations cannot be confirmed the two pieces clearly emerge from the same scientific context and have been preserved together. A superb pair from the final months of Einstein's German period. The Letter: In this intense and intellectually urgent letter Einstein writes to Walther Mayer his indispensable mathematical collaborator often referred to as "Einstein's Calculator" describing a newly conceived approach to the technical obstacles in their unified-field theory involving semi-vectors spinors and modified Dirac-type equations. Einstein tells Mayer he believes he "sees a new possibility" one that determines key constants in the system without resorting to the semi-vector construction. He then sketches the structure of the revised scheme points to the condition under which the full set of field equations reduces to a single one and warns that if this same collapse occurs in the general case "the whole thing would be useless." With his imminent departure from Germany he urges Mayer to examine the issue quickly and gives instructions for where a reply will reach him while en route. Dirac and De Broglie - Significance of the Scientific References: Of particular importance is Einstein's explicit engagement in this letter with the work of Paul Dirac and Louis de Broglie two of the central figures in early quantum theory. Einstein refers directly to the Dirac equations introduced only a few years earlier which provided a relativistic formulation of the electron and played a foundational role in quantum mechanics. He also invokes the De Broglie equations for matter waves reflecting his continued effort to reconcile quantum ideas with relativistic field theory. These references place the letter squarely at the intersection of Einstein's unified-field program and the emerging quantum framework he famously regarded with both fascination and skepticism. The letter thus documents Einstein actively testing whether concepts originating in quantum mechanics-Dirac's relativistic wave equation and De Broglie's wave-particle duality-could be absorbed into a geometrically unified classical field theory. Letters in which Einstein explicitly grapples with Dirac and De Broglie at this technical level are rare and represent an important record of his engagement with the central theoretical developments of the early twentieth century. Historical Context: Einstein's collaboration with Walther Mayer beginning around 1930 produced some of the most technically sophisticated papers of Einstein's later career. Together they developed new mathematical structures-semi-vectors spinors and higher-dimensional tangent-space formulations-used in their unified-field attempts. This letter dates from December 1932 only weeks before Einstein left Germany permanently and belongs to the final phase of their joint work published in the Sitzungsberichte of the Prussian Academy. Einstein valued Mayer so highly that he later persuaded the Institute for Advanced Study to create a permanent position for him the only such appointment ever granted for one of Einstein's collaborators. The Manuscript Calculations: Accompanying the letter is a two-page manuscript leaf containing Einstein's working calculations: trial expressions constraint conditions and variant formulations of the same type of semi-vector and spinor problems addressed in the letter. While we cannot confirm that these pages were originally enclosed with the letter they concern the same scientific material and have been preserved alongside it. Einstein manuscript leaves of this depth and technical significance-especially when tied to a known collaborative problem-are scarce. Significance: Whether or not originally sent together the letter and the calculations form a powerful and coherent scientific pair offering a rare view of Einstein actively working through equations testing ideas and relying on Mayer to verify mathematical structure. They capture Einstein at a critical inflection point in both his scientific life and personal circumstances as he prepared to leave Germany forever. --------- The letter from Einstein to Mayer reads in full translated from the original German: Dear Mr. Mayer! I believe I see a new possibility which promises success. It is along the lines of the recently devised way according to which one places zero on the right side of the Dirac-Equations. The novelty is in the fact that the constants a1 . a4 aside from a totally irrelevant factor are completely known without passing on to the specific Semi-Vectors. After omission of the _-terms the equations read Ee st ys = s 1 xe Or for De-Broglie-Equations of the restless particle E4 st ys = s 1a x4 Here is what's new: How does one choose the ay so that the De Broglie - Choices stay largely undetermined Result: The four equations 1a reduce themselves into a single one when and only when if one lets a1 = 1 a2 = 1 a3 = 1 a4 = 1 I believe that with this selection ay is for the equation describing the _-terms 1 the fitting substitute for the DeBroglie-Equation. These equations are already supplied by the simplest Hamilton function. See if the general equations 1 degenerate with this placing for a as well. If this were the case the whole thing would be useless. I leave on Saturday. A letter that is sent to Antwerp to the `Oakland' Hapag Antwerp harbor will reach me until December 13.

Autograph Letter Signed ALS Denouncing Racial Segregation

1943ref. 2376Princeton NJ: np 1943. First edition. nb. Fine. EINSTEIN OFFERS STRONG AND PRESCIENT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE LEADER OF THE NAACP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST RACIAL SEGREGATION AND DISCRIMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. Background: Einstein's fight against racial discrimination in the United States: The imperative "to protect the rights of the individual. was Einstein's most fundamental political tenet. Individualism and freedom were necessary for creative art and science to flourish. Personally politically and professionally he was repulsed by any restraints. "That is why he remained outspoken about racial discrimination in America. As a Jew who had grown up in Germany Einstein was acutely sensitive to such discrimination. 'The more I feel an American the more this situation pains me' he wrote in an essay called 'The Negro Question' for the January 1946 issue of Pageant magazine. 'I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out.'" Isaacson Albert Einstein 505. Even more directly in his 1946 commencement speech to Lincoln University the first degree-granting Historically Black College and University HBCU in the United States Einstein strongly denounced segregation as "an American tradition which is uncritically handed down from one generation to the next" noting that "There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it." This remarkable letter - from 1943 - is one of the earliest examples of his interest in condemning racism in the United States. The letter: Dated 22 September 1943 and handwritten on his embossed Mercer Street Princeton letterhead Einstein writes in English to Walter F. White the enormously influential African-American civil rights leader who led the NAACP from 1929-1955 praising him for his work and revealing his own awareness of and frustrations with racism and prejudice in America. The text reads in full: Dear Mr. White: I have been quite impressed by the address you delivered some years ago at a meeting of the Princeton Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I know how hard it is to awaken the conscience even of good-hearted and well-meaning people when deep rooted prejudices are in the way. It is a great work indeed which you are doing relentlessly for the betterment of the living conditions of our Colored fellow-citizens for justice and for the accomplishment of national unity of the American people. With sincere respect and kind wishes Yours Albert Einstein ------------- On April 28 1940 White was the keynote speaker at "an inter-racial meeting sponsored by the Princeton branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" where his topic was "What Happens to Democracy When It Encounters the Color Line." Princeton Herald April 26 1940. At the time Princeton did not admit African Americans and the community was debating the question of whether or not to end segregation at the university. Princeton in fact did not admit its first African-American student until the fall of 1947. Einstein - writing in 1943 - notes that he heard White speak "some years ago". Something clearly must have deeply impressed Einstein about White's speech for him to write this thoughtful letter to White over three years after the event. Note: In addition to its content this apparently unpublished letter is also remarkable for being one of the very few letters Einstein hand-wrote in English during this period as German was still very much his preferred tongue. Princeton: September 22 1943. One page on Einstein's embossed Mercer Street Princeton letterhead 7.25x10 in visible handsomely matted and framed with a photograph of Einstein. Fine condition. np unknown
