SCARCE OFFPRINT ISSUE OF AN IMPORTANT EINSTEIN PAPER OF STATISTICAL MECHANICS and a continuation of his remarkable 1905 and 1906 publications on Brownian Motion which not only led to the proof of the existence of the atom but also worked to determine the size of atoms and how many atoms there are in a mole or the molecular weight in grams of a gas.

19451437New York: The New York Times 1945. 1st Edition. First edition of the August 14th 1945 issue of the New York Times complete with "Certificate of Authentication" by the Historic Newspaper Archives. The certificate is #379910; it is signed and includes the seal of the archive. Einstein's article appears in Calaprice's Einstein Almanac No. 244. The certificate will accompany the paper. <br /> <br /> Most assume that Einstein received the Nobel Prize for his theory of relativity and his famous equation E=mc2. However it was for neither. In 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Prize for discovering the photoelectric effect in 1905. This principle states that when sunlight shines on a metal it emits electrons from the surface of the material. The energy from sunlight photons then transfers to the atoms' electrons and knocks them loose. This discovery was so significant that it has influenced the development of many types of technology from electron microscopes to modern solar cells as we know them today. <br /> <br /> ALSO INCLUDED: An article by Lewis headlined: "Atoms Not Occult Einstein Declares; Physicist Explains Nuclear and Solar Energy but Refuses to Discuss Use in Bomb" <br /> <br /> ALSO INCLUDED: New York Time's announces Japan's surrender in 3 line large headline "Japan Decides To Surrender The Tokyo Radio Announces As We Resume Heavy Attacks". CONDITION: Historic Newspaper Archives see above has placed the issue in archival plastic and then into an Archive snap close bag. see photo By any measure this complete issue appears in very good condition.

1949180348Ottowa: Canadian Mathematical Society 1949. Their final collaboration First edition offprint issue. Einstein and Infeld demonstrate that "field equations alone suffice as a basis for solving the problem of motion in general relativistic theory since the Einstein equations not only determine how particles must respond to gravitational forces but also contain the information necessary to describe those forces" Calaprice p. 323.

1932180272Easton Pennsylvania: Mack Printing Company 1932. Einstein revises his "biggest blunder" First edition journal issue of the paper in which Einstein rejected his 1917 cosmological constant and acknowledged the expansion of the universe. Drawing on Hubble's law Einstein and de Sitter proposed that the constant should be set equal to zero thereby offering a new model of the universe. "In 1917 Einstein had shown how to construct a universe that was static by introducing a 'cosmological constant' into his equations. This matched well with the idea current before Hubble's 1924 measurement of the distances to the nebulae of a small and static 'universe' that was confined to the stars of the Milky Way galaxy. Einstein's idea of a static universe suspended between gravity pulling inward and the cosmological constant making the universe expand was ruled out by Hubble's data" Kirshner pp. 9-12. In Einstein and de Sitter's revised model "the galaxies receded forever but the recession rate declines to zero as time approaches infinity. Some sources indicate that this is the first attempt to describe our universe rather than a mathematical abstraction of universes possible under general relativity. Shortly after Einstein formally renounced his cosmological constant and according to George Gamow called it 'the biggest blunder of my life'" Wenner. Einstein and de Sitter 1872-1934 were close collaborators in the 1920s at Leiden where de Sitter was chair of astronomy and Einstein was a visiting professor. De Sitter is also known for the concepts of De Sitter space and the De Sitter universe. Large octavo. Original brown wrappers covers printed in black. Short closed tears to spine a little loss to ends corners gently creased: a very good copy. Boni 214; Weil 184; Wenner p. 256. Robert P.
