1949réf. 148432Evanston: The Library of Living Philosophers Inc. 1949. First edition of Einstein's singular autobiography. Octavo original cloth with gilt titles to the spine top edge gilt frontispiece of Einstein by Yousuf Karsh. Edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp. In near fine condition. Written by the man considered the "Person of the Century" by Time magazine this is not a glimpse into Einstein's personal life but an extension and elaboration into his thinking on science. Two of the great theories of the physical world were created in the early 20th century: the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Einstein created the theory of relativity and was also one of the founders of quantum theory. Here Einstein describes the failure of classical mechanics and the rise of the electromagnetic field the theory of relativity and of the quanta. "The greatest physicist of the 20th century" PMM 408.

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.

1906réf. 292Leipzig: Barth 1906. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE of two important 1906 Einstein papers. Einstein wrote two papers on the photoelectric effect his revolutionary 1905 paper and "Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung und Lichtabsorption" his continuation of it. In them Einstein employed Planck's theory that luminous energy can be absorbed or emitted only in discrete amounts called quanta and proposed a theory of light quanta involving particles with no mass photons whose energy depended on frequency. All of Einstein's experimental results confirmed that light actually consisted of discrete energy packets. "Based on this theory Einstein wrote an equation describing how the photoelectric effect works. The energy of individual electrons emitted by a photocell is a function of the frequency of the light hitting the photocell and the rate of electron emission is a function of the light source's intensity number of photons with sufficient energy being emitted. This is contrary to what is predicted by classical physics" History of Physics: The Wenner Collection. In this Einstein's second paper on photoelectrics he revisited Planck's theory and from it developed his ideas to show that an electromagnetic wave such as light could be described as a particle photon with discrete quanta of energy that was dependent on its frequency. In the long history of quantum mechanics this would lead to a theory of unity between subatomic particles and electromagnetic waves called wave-particle duality in which particles and waves were neither one nor the other but had certain properties of both. At first Einstein believed that light-quantum hypothesis was merely 'heuristic': that it behaved only as if it consisted of discontinuous quanta. But in this paper and others to follow Einstein used his statistical mechanics to demonstrate that when light interacts with matter Planck's entire formula can arise only from the existence of light quanta -- not from waves. In other words in explaining the photoelectric effect by extending Planck's concept of quantum of energy had Einstein "demonstrated that his own 'light-quantum hypothesis' was implicit in Planck's earlier work" Honner The Description of Nature 31. ALSO included in this volume is "Daz Prinzip von der Erhaltung." The Principle of Conservation of Motion of the Center of Gravity and the Inertia of Energy. In this "ingenious thought experiment involving energy transport in a hollow cylinder Einstein returned to the relationship between inertial mass and energy giving more general arguments for their complete equivalence" Calaprice The Einstein Almanac 18. This was the first statement that the conservation of mass is a special case of the conservation of energy. CONDITION & DETAILS: Leipzig: Barth 1906. Octavo. 8.75 x 6 inches; 222 x 152mm.

"From 1905 through 1909 Einstein published five major papers on the hypothesis of energy quanta its theoretical implications and its use in the explanation of various phenomena. Among these papers we have his importent paper "Die Plancksche." and in his second paper from 1906d he asserted that Planck's derivation implicitly assumes quantification of the enrgies of charged oscillators. Now in the paper offered he returned to this question showing that if the structure function in phase space he had introduced earlier is assumed to restrict the oscillators to orbits with energies that are integral mulætiples of 'hv' then the average oscillator energy in a canonical ensemble yealds Planck's law when substituted in eg. The works contains the first systematic introduction of probability factors in the mathematics of Quantum Theory.The second paper represents Einstein's third stage in dealing with brownian motion. He had previous explained the zigzag motion of suspended particles and looked as this penomenon from a more general angle. In the present investigation he extends his reults to all macroscopic parameters by giving a general principle for the calculation of theit fluctuations.

The paper "represents the basis of the one written by the same author in collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli in 1943 in which by following analogous lines the proof of the non-existence of regular particle-type solutions was generalized to the case of cilyndrical geometries in Kaluza-Klein theory Einstein & Pauli 1943. Besides other generalizations were subsequently presented. The non-existence of such solutions in classical unified field theory was undoubtedly an important criterion leading Einstein's investigations."Galvagno and Giribet."In his search for a unified field theory that could undercut quantum mechanics Einstein considered five-dimensional classical Kaluza-Klein theory. He studied this theory most intensively during the years 1938-1943. One of his primary objectives was finding a non-singular particle solution. In the full theory this search got frustrated and in the x5-independent theory Einstein together with Pauli argued it would be impossible to find these structures."

Notes: Albert Einstein 1879 – 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics.

"Focuses on correcting a widely accepted story that Einstein was a major supporter a 'champion' of the state of Israel - a story told and retold primarily by the mainstream media. While Einstein was a secular Jew had mixed feelings about Zionism and supported the goal of a Jewish 'homeland' within Palestine he never wavered from arguing forcefully for equal rights and equal power for the Arabs - whom he called 'kinfolk' of the Jews. Some of these essays and letters covering the years from 1919 to 1955 have never been translated or published." - dust jacket. "It's a pity that the Zionist movement as embodied in the State of Israel took a direction so divergent from the path advocated by the Jewish people's greatest intellect." - Michael Palumbo. "While sadly it seems Einstein's fear that Israel would become a 'captive of narrow nationalism' has been realized his humanism and call for equal rights and equal power between Jews and Palestinians in Israel/Palestine remain an inspiration and model today." - Adam Horowitz. xviii 334 pp. Bibliography List of Sources Notes Index.
