Mallock in Proc. R.S. Lond ser. A vol. 84: 391-94. London 1911. A.D. Fokker 1887-1972 was a Dutch physicist and cousin to aeronautical engineer Anthony Fokker 1890-1939. He was musically inclined having invented the 31EDO pipe organ. He earned his doctorate in 1913 continuing his studies with Albert Einstein Ernest Rutheford 1871-1937 and William Bragg 1862-1942. In his 1913 thesis he derived the Fokker-Planck equation with Max Planck 1858-1947. Fokker made contributions to special relativity and general relativity particularly the effects of the curvature of space-time formally called "geodetic precession". Wikipedia. .

In his early papers on the subject . . . he used two important features: the principle of equivalence and the role of the speed of light. In this paper he takes a broader perspective saying that if a light beam is bent in an accelerating frame of reference then if the theory is correct it must also be besnt by gravity by exactly the equivalent amount." Calaprice An Einstein Encyclopedia. "An important conclusion of this paper is that the velocity of light in a gravitational field is a function of the place.

The whole volume offered First edition. In this paper "Contributions to quantum theory" two considerations are given which are interrelated by a common goal inasmuch as it is attempted to derive two of the most importent achievementss of quantum theory viz. Planck's radiation law and Nernst's third law of thermodynamics in a new manner. The proofs do not involve Boltzmann's equation and are thus based enterely on macroscopic thermodynamics. They do introduce however the quantum hupothesis. Einstein points out that the alleged 'proofs' which try to derive the theorem of Nernst from the mere fact that the heat capacity of all substances goes to zero at absolute zero temterature are not genuine.

In his paper from 1902 Einstein "says in his introduction that nobody has yet succeeded in deriving the conditions of thermal equilibrium and of the second law of thermodynamics from probability considerations although Maxwell and Boltzmann came near to it. Willard Gibbs is not mentioned. In fact Einstein's paper was written in ignorance of Gibbs paper published 1901. In the present paper Einstein builds the theory on another basis not used by Gibbs namely on the consideration of a single system in course of time later called "Zeit-Gesamtheit" time assembly and proves that this is equivalent to a certain virtual assembly of many systems Gibb's micro-canonical assembly.Einstein at once proceeded to apply his theorems to a case of utmost importance namely to systems of a size suited for demonstrating the reality of molecules and the correctness of the kinetic theory of matter."Walter Alicke.

All papers first edition. In the first paper "Thermodynamical derivation of the photochemical equivalence" Einstein calls "the law of photochemical equivalence" the statement that the decomposition of one gram equivalent of any substance by a photochemical proces demands the radiation energy of 'Nhv' where N=the Avogadro number. In this paper he demonstrates how this law is deducible by purely thermodynamical arguments if certain olausible assumotions are made. Lanzos. - The second paper "Concerning the theory of a static gravitational field" states that the 'equivalence hypothesis' permits us to come to very definite conclusions about the behaviour of a static gravitational field. - The next Einstein paper gives an answer to J. Stark as Stark claimed priority to the photochemical equivalence law. - In the last paper "Relativity and Gravitation. Reply to a remark of M. Abraham" Einstein elaborates his answer to the critique of M. Abraham. - Weil Nos 46 1-2 a. 48. - Planck Akademie No 95. hardcover
