1921ref. 009633Paris: Gauthier-Villars 1921 12mo 19 cm XXII 120 pp. Printed wrappers wrappers slightly stained and frayed; small portions of paper missing from the spine; paper toned inside. Early French edition of Einstein's celebrated popular exposition of the theory of relativity intended to make the fundamental ideas of both the special and the general theory accessible to non-specialists. With a preface by the renowned mathematician Émile Borel who emphasizes the scientific importance of Einstein's work and its profound implications for modern physics. Einstein's text explains the essential concepts of space time motion gravitation and the structure of space-time in clear largely non-technical language presenting the empirical and conceptual foundations of relativity to a broad readership. The French translation was prepared by Maurice Solovine one of Einstein's close early collaborators and an important mediator of his ideas to the French-speaking public. Boni-Russ-Laurence 91.B.

RARE FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS OF THE REPORTS FROM THE HISTORIC FIRST SOLVAY CONFERENCE "THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN PHYSICS EVER ORGANIZED" AND A CRITICAL MOMENT IN THE BIRTH OF QUANTUM PHYSICS. In the short time that followed Planck's hypothesis of the universal constant that would bear his name the greatest minds in physics were largely at a loss about how to deal with the bizarre theoretical results that followed let alone the experimental results which confirmed them!. Much of the focus at the time was on black-body radiation including work by Planck himself as well as Lorentz Rayleigh and Jeans. However shortly before the first Solvay conference a young Einstein had also started investigating the related question of materials' specific heat. Kuhn. "The purpose of the first Solvay Conference was thus two-fold: first there was the need to examine whether classical theories molecular-kinetic theory and electrodynamics could in some undiscovered ways provide an explanation of the problem of black-body radiation and of the specific heat of polyatomic substances at low temperatures; secondly to consider phenomena in which the theory of quanta could be successfully used." Mehra. Underlying these questions was the more fundamental mystery of how to interpret the existence of the Planck constant. There were two camps both of which were represented at the conference. Planck's took the constant to indicate some fundamental constraint on the radiative processes of emission and absorption. For example "Sommerfeld introduced a version of the quantum hypothesis which he considered to be compatible with classical electrodynamics. He postulated that in 'every purely molecular process' a quantized quantity of action is exchanged." Staumann. Einstein's camp on the other hand took the quantum of action to represent the physicality of a perhaps pseudo-corpuscular theory of energy exchange - his photons of light. Although the debates that followed the lectures included in the proceedings did not rise to the famous heated exchange that Einstein would have with Bohr at the 1927 Solvay conference we do see some of the young Einstein's hotheadedness as he opens the debate following Planck's plenary lecture: "What I find strange about the way Mr. Planck applies Boltzmann's equation is that he introduces a state probability W without giving this quantity a physical definition. If one proceeds in such a way then to begin with Boltzmann's equation does not have a physical meaning." As translated by Straumann. It would take another 14 years for quantum mechanics to be fully formalized but the first Solvay conference represents a pivotal point in quantum history: "During 1911 the situation changed quickly. Articles that applied the quantum to other topics then outnumbered those on blackbody radiation for the first time and some were backed by impressive experimental evidence. In part because of that evidence physicists like Planck and Lorentz who had previously taken the constant h to be characteristic only of the radiation problem began to consider additional areas in which others had earlier staked quantum claims." Kuhn. Albert Einstein and the Solvay Conference: Among the most renown scientists of the day - including Ernest Rutherford Marie Curie and Max Planck - Einstein made quite an impression. At age 32 he was the second youngest participant in the conference. The youngest was British physicist Frederick Lindemann later to become scientific adviser to Winston Churchill. Although "Einstein had already published so many masterpieces none had actually been put to the test and his theories were looked on rather as tours de force than as definitive additions to knowledge. But his pre-eminence among the twelve greatest theoretical physicists of the day was clear to any unprejudiced observer." Frederick Lindemann quoted in Brian.

1951(Firenze, IGM, 1951) stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 779/782. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

1973ill., br. Uno dei massimi interpreti della fisica del Novecento, il premio Nobel Max Born non considerava disdicevole dedicare parte notevole delle sue energie al tentativo di comunicare, principalmente ai giovani studenti, i risultati della ricerca. Espressione del suo impegno come divulgatore è il presente volume, il più riuscito, forse, tra i molti scritti per introdurre un pubblico più vasto alle idee di Albert Einstein. Anziché enfatizzare, banalmente, l'elemento «rivoluzionario», di rottura, che esse presentano rispetto alle nozioni usuali di contemporaneità, massa, energia e così via, Born con un ampliamento di prospettiva ne ricerca le premesse nel generale processo evolutivo della fisica. Dei sette capitoli di cui si compone il libro, cinque sono così dedicati a un riepilogo delle teorie e dei concetti della fisica classica, di cui la relatività non è il capovolgimento, ma la naturale estensione. La lucida analisi di Born spazia dalle prime misure di spazio e tempo e dagli assiomi della geometria euclidea ai concetti fondamentali della dinamica newtoniana e alla teoria elettromagnetica di Maxwell. La relatività speciale e generale è trattata negli ultimi due capitoli. Grande rilievo vi assumono i fenomeni ottici, da sempre cruciale banco di prova di ogni tentativo di sistemazione razionale del mondo fisico.

ref. 67584Coll. "Sciences", Paris, éd. Hachette, 1998, EDITION ORIGINALE, in-8, br., couv. ill. coul. éd., 320 pp., quelques graphiques en noir, glossaire, notes, table des matières, Il y a plus de quatre siècles, après que Copernic eut ébranlé l'idée d'une position absolue, Galilée découvrait que le " mouvement est comme rien " : il n'existe pas en soi, un corps ne se meut que par rapport à un autre corps. Au début du XXe siècle, Poincaré et Einstein franchissaient une nouvelle étape avec la relativité restreinte, où l'espace et le temps ne sont plus séparés. Puis Einstein inventait une nouvelle manière de penser avec la relativité généralisée. Celle-ci n'est plus seulement une théorie des objets dans un cadre préétabli. Elle offre une description dynamique de la géométrie d'un espace-temps courbe et dépendant de son contenu matériel. La gravitation n'y existe plus en soi, mais devient, elle-même, relative au choix du système de coordonnées. La relativité a-t-elle dit son dernier mot ? Son principe exige que les lois de la nature soient valides quel que soit le système de référence. Mais les lois de la mécanique quantique ne l'ont-elles pas mis en défaut vers les échelles microscopiques ? Laurent Nottale suggère d'envisager les effets quantiques comme la manifestation d'une relativité étendue aux changements d'échelle. En passant du macroscopique au microscopique, l'espace-temps, de courbe, deviendrait fractal. Un essai à la fois très accessible et profondément novateur. Très bon état
