The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 4

The Swiss Years: Writings, 1912-1914

Albert Einstein

315 pages, parution le 15/01/1995

Résumé

This volume presents Einstein's writings from the final period of his work in Switzerland. Most of the material in Volume 4 documents Einstein's search for a relativistic theory of gravitation, a search that ended in Berlin in the fall of 1915 with the completion of the general theory of relativity.

Three scientific manuscripts, printed here for the first time, provide insight into Einstein's efforts to generalize his original relativity theory into a theory of gravitation. The first is a review article on the special theory of relativity. The second consists of notes that document Einstein's research on gravitation. The third manuscript contains calculations on the problem of the motion of the perihelion of Mercury. The explanation of the observed anomaly of this motion was to become one of the classical tests of general relativity. The existence of such a manuscript has not been known before now. All three of these manuscripts, along with other material in this volume, add significantly to our understanding of the creation of general relativity.

This supplementary paperback volume presents only the English translations of non-English materials and is not intended for use without the original-language documentary edition.

L'auteur - Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) a établi la théorie du mouvement brownien et le concept de photon. Mais on lui doit surtout la théorie de la relativité et l'équivalence de la masse et de l'énergie E = mc2. Il a reçu le Prix Nobel en 1921

ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955) is one of the most influential figures of the modern era. Working in Germany, Switzerland and USA, he radically transformed our understanding of the universe and took an outspoken stance on the significant political and social issues of his time. He was the father of the theory of relativity and a major contributor to quantum theory yet always found time for the political causes close to his heart.
