1936réf. 6550Lancaster PA: American Physical Society 1 March 1936. Second series volume 49 number 5. Very Good. ppl 341-422. Original green wraps. Slight nick at bottom edge of lower wrap else better than very good. 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. I demonstrate that the two-body problem in general relativity was a heuristic guide in Einstein's and collaborators' 1935 work on the Einstein-Rosen bridge and EPR paradox." Also articles by notable physicists on radioactivity electron mobility quantum-mechanical measurement and so on. American Physical Society paperback

A noted scientist in his own right Mach is best known for the concept of "Mach's principle" which asserts that an entity's inertial mass is determined by all the other masses in the universe. Einstein in fact coined the phrase "Mach's principle" and his application of it had major ramifications for the development of his theory of general relativity Einstein in 1918 labeling it one of the "three pillars" of general relativity.
