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.
[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 ...

The Zurich Notebook is one of Albert Einstein's notebooks, from his time in Zürich. It contains much of the basic work for general relativity. [1] References
Notably, Einstein's unification project did not accommodate the strong and weak nuclear forces, neither of which was well understood until many years after his death. Although mainstream physics long ignored Einstein's approaches to unification, Einstein's work has motivated modern quests for a theory of everything, in particular string theory ...
