19802611New York: np 1980. First edition. Clamshell box. Fine. EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE SUITE OF SEVEN LARGE SILVER PRINTS FROM EINSTEIN'S FAMOUS PHOTO SHOOT AT PRINCETON WITH ROMAN VISHNIAC. Each print is signed by Vishniac and dated "At Princeton 1942" in his hand below the image and numbered on the back. "One day Vishniac decided to visit Albert Einstein at Princeton to offer greetings from mutual friends in Berlin. Uninvited he hoped Einstein would pose for a portrait but Einstein had little interest. Vishniac recalled:<br /> <br /> It was a singular experience. An idea had suddenly come to him and the room was filled with the movement of the great man's thought. I waited several minutes and then when I saw that he did not intend to say anything more to me and that he was off in a world of his own I started taking pictures.<br /> <br /> Einstein later admitted that a Vishniac photograph taken that day was his favorite portrait" Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Photography. <br /> <br /> Vishniac provided details about this portolfio in a letter to an original recipient the letter is not included here explaining:<br /> <br /> The size of the edition's limitation is uncertain due to my age and only spare time to make them. The most expensive portfolios - Ansel Adams Kertesz - are limited in large numbers I can never measure up - 999 1001 and similar. <br /> <br /> The originality of Portfolio "Einstein" consists of its special character. It is made not to get images but the feeling that you are present during the creativity by the Great Man. All pictures are made with "hidden camera" method.<br /> <br /> The value of this portfolio is great and can hardly be estimated today. <br /> <br /> Princeton/New York: 1942 negatives; 1980 silver prints.

A very good copy. </p> <br /> <br /> <p>"Some arguments for the assumption of molecular agitation at absolute zero." In this paper Einstein and Stern show that the quantum theory of solids to give the best agreement with experiments at normal temperatures seems to demand that at absolute zero a residual energy would remain in the solids which they term "zero-point energy." They thus introduced this important concept to physics." p. 292. Calaprice Kennefick & Shulmann. An Einstein Encyclopedia. 2015. </p> <br /> <br /> <p> Otto Stern was a German-American physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He was the second most nominated person for a Nobel Prize with 82 nominations in the years 1925-1945 ultimately winning in 1943 "for his contribution to the development of the molecular rat method and his discovery of the magnetic moment of the proton". In 1912 Stern did his doctoral dissertation in concentrated solutions. After receiving his Ph.D. degree Stern took advantage of his economic independence to join Albert Einstein at Prague.

The task of unifying nuclear electromagnetic and gravitational force is nowadays by many considered the holy grail of theoretical physics.Maxwell was the first to develop such a theory when he described the forces of electricity and magnetism as the single force electromagnetism. After Einstein had completed his general theory of relativity a field theory for gravitation he turned his attention towards generalizing his theory even further to include Maxwell's theory. Even though Einstein never succeeded in completing this task in the way that he finished his earlier theories he pioneered and explored many areas of this subject."It had been repeatedly observed that Einstein's general theory of relativity necessitated a pluralistic explanation of the universe. In 1925 he announced that he had resolved this difficulty but the announcement was premature. In 1928 he attacked the problem once more only to find that Riemann's conception of space on which the general theory was based would not permit of a common explanation of electromagnetic and gravitational phenomena. In a series of papers the present devoted to the development of 'A Uniform Theory of Gravitation and Electricity' he outlined a new theory of space with a view to unification of all forms of activity that fall within the sphere of physics giving them a common explanation. All that would then remain to complete a scientific unison is the correlation of the organic and inorganic".PMM 416Barchas 586Weil 147 162 165 & 166. </em> unknown

Fine. 6 pages in printed wraps. <br /><br />Not exactly an "offprint" since the pages are numbered from 1 and the pamphlet is given its own title page this is considered the first separate edition of a paper Einstein published in the periodical of the Prussian Academy.
