Einstein himself considered the introduction of the cosmological constant in his 1917 paper founding cosmology as a "blunder". [3] The theory of general relativity predicted an expanding or contracting universe, but Einstein wanted a static universe which is an unchanging three-dimensional sphere, like the surface of a three-dimensional ball in four dimensions.
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.
First page from the manuscript explaining the theory of general relativity by Albert Einstein (1915–16). [8]Albert Einstein visited Palestine in 1923 for 12 days, giving the first lecture at the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem—two years before the university opened in 1925. [9]
The term "Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox" or "EPR" arose from a paper written in 1934 after Einstein joined the Institute for Advanced Study, having fled the rise of Nazi Germany. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The original paper [ 5 ] purports to describe what must happen to "two systems I and II, which we permit to interact", and after some time "we ...
[p 1]: 52–53 Einstein's thought experiment as a 16-year-old student. Einstein's recollections of his youthful musings are widely cited because of the hints they provide of his later great discovery. However, Norton has noted that Einstein's reminiscences were probably colored by a half-century of hindsight.
[2] [3] Einstein's scientific publications are listed below in four tables: journal articles, book chapters, books and authorized translations. Each publication is indexed in the first column by its number in the Schilpp bibliography (Albert Einstein: Philosopher–Scientist, pp. 694–730) and by its article number in Einstein's Collected Papers.
Analysis of the 1931 paper shows that, given the contemporaneous Hubble constant of 500 km s −1 Mpc −1, Einstein's estimates of cosmic density, radius and timespan should have been ρ ~ 10 −28 g/cm 3, P ~ 10 8 light-years and t ~ 10 9 years respectively. One line on the blackboard, not included in the published paper, makes the nature of ...
Einstein's double reversal [ edit ] The creator of the theory of general relativity, Albert Einstein , argued in 1916 [ 5 ] that gravitational radiation should be produced, according to his theory, by any mass-energy configuration that has a time-varying quadrupole moment (or higher multipole moment ).
