The paper "represents the basis of the one written by the same author in collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli in 1943 in which by following analogous lines the proof of the non-existence of regular particle-type solutions was generalized to the case of cilyndrical geometries in Kaluza-Klein theory Einstein & Pauli 1943. Besides other generalizations were subsequently presented. The non-existence of such solutions in classical unified field theory was undoubtedly an important criterion leading Einstein's investigations."Galvagno and Giribet."In his search for a unified field theory that could undercut quantum mechanics Einstein considered five-dimensional classical Kaluza-Klein theory. He studied this theory most intensively during the years 1938-1943. One of his primary objectives was finding a non-singular particle solution. In the full theory this search got frustrated and in the x5-independent theory Einstein together with Pauli argued it would be impossible to find these structures."

Binding: Contemporary full red cloth title on flat spine debossed stamped title on the upper board lacks the dust jacket. Notes: Albert Einstein 1879 – 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. Size: Octavo 8vo. Illustration: Illustrated with five diagrams and numerous in text mathematical equations.

"Focuses on correcting a widely accepted story that Einstein was a major supporter a 'champion' of the state of Israel - a story told and retold primarily by the mainstream media. While Einstein was a secular Jew had mixed feelings about Zionism and supported the goal of a Jewish 'homeland' within Palestine he never wavered from arguing forcefully for equal rights and equal power for the Arabs - whom he called 'kinfolk' of the Jews. Some of these essays and letters covering the years from 1919 to 1955 have never been translated or published." - dust jacket. "It's a pity that the Zionist movement as embodied in the State of Israel took a direction so divergent from the path advocated by the Jewish people's greatest intellect." - Michael Palumbo. "While sadly it seems Einstein's fear that Israel would become a 'captive of narrow nationalism' has been realized his humanism and call for equal rights and equal power between Jews and Palestinians in Israel/Palestine remain an inspiration and model today." - Adam Horowitz. xviii 334 pp. Bibliography List of Sources Notes Index.

"From 1905 through 1909 Einstein published five major papers on the hypothesis of energy quanta its theoretical implications and its use in the explanation of various phenomena. Among these papers we have his importent paper "Die Plancksche." and in his second paper from 1906d he asserted that Planck's derivation implicitly assumes quantification of the enrgies of charged oscillators. Now in the paper offered he returned to this question showing that if the structure function in phase space he had introduced earlier is assumed to restrict the oscillators to orbits with energies that are integral mulætiples of 'hv' then the average oscillator energy in a canonical ensemble yealds Planck's law when substituted in eg. The works contains the first systematic introduction of probability factors in the mathematics of Quantum Theory.The second paper represents Einstein's third stage in dealing with brownian motion. He had previous explained the zigzag motion of suspended particles and looked as this penomenon from a more general angle. In the present investigation he extends his reults to all macroscopic parameters by giving a general principle for the calculation of theit fluctuations.
