Between 1914 and 1915, Einstein and Wander Johannes de Haas published a series papers on their experiments showing that a change in the magnetic moment of a free body caused this body to rotate. The Einstein-de Haas effect is a consequence of the conservation of angular momentum and is a demonstration of quantum spin , not yet understood at the ...
The Einsteinhaus on the Kramgasse in Bern, Einstein's residence at the time. Most of the papers were written in his apartment on the first floor above the street level. At the time the papers were written, Einstein did not have easy access to a complete set of scientific reference materials, although he did regularly read and contribute reviews to Annalen der Physik.
The Digital Einstein Papers [18] is an open-access site for The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. The site presents volumes 1–16 and will add subsequent volumes in the series roughly two years after original book publication.
Helen Dukas (1896–1982) began working for Einstein with increased systematization from April 1928, although not all outgoing correspondence was saved. After the Nazis' rise to power in 1933, Einstein's son-in-law Rudolf Kayser, aided by the French Embassy, rescued Einstein's papers in Berlin.
The original 1920 English publication of the paper. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory (German: Über die spezielle und die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie) began as a short paper and was eventually published as a book written by Albert Einstein with the aim of explaining the theory of relativity.
Following Einstein's original presentation of special relativity in 1905, many different sets of postulates have been proposed in various alternative derivations. [17] But the most common set of postulates remains those employed by Einstein in his original paper.
[11] [217] On 5 December 2014, universities and archives announced the release of Einstein's papers, comprising more than 30,000 unique documents. [218] [219] In addition to the work he did by himself he also collaborated with other scientists on additional projects including the Bose–Einstein statistics, the Einstein refrigerator and others ...
Einstein's paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, is a polished work that bears few traces of its gestation. Documentary evidence concerning the development of the ideas that went into it consist of, quite literally, only two sentences in a handful of preserved early letters, and various later historical remarks by Einstein himself ...
