Einstein tries to improve upon his model of specific heats after realizing the model was inocrrect at very low temperatures. The correct answer would come a year later with the Debye model. </p> <p>"Elementary observations on thermal molecular motion in solids. . . Here Einstein continues the work he had begun in 1907 on the specific heat of solids where the heat agitation of solids was reduced to a monochromatic oscillation of the atom and the specific heat was determined based on the quantum treatment of an oscillator in a radiation field. He explains the discrepancies between his formula and the measurements at low temperatures." p. 291. Calaprice Kennefick & Shulmann.

193647073Lancaster American Physical Society 1936. 4to. In: "The Physical Review" Vol. 49 Second Series. X971 pp. Entire volume offered. Einstein & Rosen's paper: pp. 404-405. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Einstein and Rosen's answer to Silberstein's critique of Einstein's Theory of Relativity ."Ludwik Silberstein who initially was a supporter of the special theory objected at different occasions against general relativity. In 1920 he argued that the deflection of light by the sun as observed by Arthur Eddington et al. 1919 is not necessarily a confirmation of general relativity but may also be explained by the Stokes-Planck theory of complete aether drag. However such models are in contradiction with the aberration of light and other experiments see "Alternative theories". And in 1935 Silberstein claimed to have found a contradiction in the Two-body problem in general relativity. However also this claim was refuted by Einstein and Rosen 1935 in the paper offered."Wikipedia. </em> unknown

The occasion was the Centenary Year of Thomson's birth and Einstein wrote 'Zum hundertjährigen Gedenktag von Lord Kelvins Geburt 26. Juni 1824'. In the mid-nineteenth century Thomson's ideas on thermodynamics established the base line for future generations of scientists. Likewise in 1905 Einstein changed the world of physics forever with the publication of his radical new ideas on special relativity."We may learn from Einstein the philosopher of his interest in the founding scientists of the nineteenth century such as Kelvin and Maxwell of science being not only about instrumentation mathematics and formulae but also about sharing in the aspirations and achievements of other scientists past or present."
