A lively collection of Einstein’s groundbreaking scientific correspondence on modern physics
Imagine getting four of the greatest minds of modern physics in a room together to explain and debate the theories and innovations of their day. This is the fascinating experience of reading Letters on Wave Mechanics, the correspondence between H. A. Lorentz, Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger, and Albert Einstein.
These remarkable letters illuminate not only the basis of Schrödinger’s work in wave mechanics, but also how great scientific minds debated and challenged the ever-changing theories of the day and ultimately embraced an elegant solution to the riddles of quantum theory. Their collected correspondence offers insight into both the personalities and professional aspirations that played a part in this theoretical breakthrough.
This authorized ebook features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

    Now first and foremost my very hearty thanks for your kind invitation to stay with you which I of course accept with the utmost pleasure.
  • Ирина Осипенкоhas quoted3 years ago
    You are quite correct that one is most often in want of just this possibility of being alone for a few hours in situations where everyone around is striving to be nice to one.
  • Ирина Осипенкоhas quoted3 years ago
    If one still gets a little tired after a few days—the pleasure of the interesting dialogues would be sufficient compensation, to say nothing of the stimulation and the positive challenge.
