Bøger af Albert Einstein

The closest Einstein ever came to writing an autobiography, this account is primarily concerned with the development of his ideas, saying little about his private life. It presents his "epistemological credo" and the development of his special and general theories of relativity.

Unter den unzähligen Büchern über Albert Einstein wird Mein Weltbild immer etwas Besonderes bleiben. Hier entsteht ein Selbstporträt des Wissenschaftlers ausschließlich über dessen eigene Texte. Seine Äußerungen zu den verschiedensten Themen, einschließlich seinen Gedanken zu Religion, Gesellschaft, Philosophie und vielem mehr, werden in hier zusammen gebracht, unabhängig davon ob sie schriftlich oder mündlich getätigt wurden. Gelesen von Alexander Bandilla entsteht ein facettenreiches Bild von Einstein, aber gleichzeitig wird in diesen Text ein Stück faszinierende Zeitgeschichte dokumentiert.Der Schweizer Schriftsteller Carl Seelig hat es sich in "Mein Weltbild" zur Aufgabe gemacht den berühmten theoretischen Physiker Albert Einstein nur durch seine eigenen Texte und Worte darzustellen. Seelig war mit Zustimmung des Vaters der Mentor und später, nach Einsteins Tod 1955, Vormund von Alberts Sohn Eduard, bis Seelig selbst 1962 durch einen Unfall ums Leben kam.

A fascinating collection of Einstein''s observations about life, religion, nationalism, and a host of personal topics that engaged the genius''s intellectIn the aftermath of the First World War, Einstein writes about his hopes for the League of Nations, his feelings as a German citizen about the growing anti-Semitism and nationalism of his country, and his myriad opinions about the current affairs of his day. In addition to these political perspectives, The World As I See It reveals the idealistic, spiritual, and witty side of this great intellectual as he approaches topics including "Good and Evil," "Religion and Science," "Active Pacifism," "Christianity and Judaism," and "Minorities."Including letters, speeches, articles, and essays written before 1935, this collection offers a complete portrait of Einstein as a humanitarian and as a human being trying to make sense of the changing world around him.This authorized Philosophical Library book features a new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty." -Albert Einstein, Forum and Century"Preceding generations have presented us, in a highly developed science and mechanical knowledge, with a most valuable gift which carries with it possibilities of making our life free and beautiful such as no previous generation has enjoyed. But this gift also brings with it dangers to our existence as great as any that have ever threatened it." -Albert Einstein, Address to the Students'' Disarmament MeetingAlbert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he as awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity. In addition to his scientific work, Einstein was an influential humanist who spoke widely about politics, ethics, and social causes. After leaving Europe, Einstein taught at Princeton University. His theories were instrumental in shaping the atomic age.Neil Berger, an associate professor emeritus of mathematics, taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science department from 1968 until his retirement in 2001. He was the recipient of the first Monroe H. Martin Prize (1975), which is now awarded by the University of Maryland every five years for a singly authored outstanding applied mathematics research paper. He has published numerous papers and reviews in his fields of expertise, which include elasticity, tensor analysis, scattering theory, and fluid mechanics.

A provocative collection of letters to his longtime friend and translator that spans Einstein''s career and reveals the inner thoughts and daily life of a transformative geniusFrom their early days as tutor and scholar discussing philosophy over Spartan dinners to their work together to publish Einstein''s books in Europe, in Maurice Solovine, Einstein found both an engaged mind and a loyal friend. While Einstein frequently shared his observations on science, politics, philosophy, and religion in his correspondence with Solovine, he was just as likely to express his feelings about everyday life-his health and the effects of aging and his experiences in the various places where he settled and visited in his long career. The letters are both funny and frank, and taken together, reflect the changes-large and small-that took place over a half century and in the remarkable life of the world''s foremost scientist.Published in English alongside the German text and accompanied by facsimile copies of the original letters, the collected Letters to Solovine offers scholar and interested reader alike unprecedented access to the personal life of Albert Einstein.This authorized Philosophical Library book features a new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."Men are even more susceptible to suggestion than horses, and each period is dominated by a mood, with the result that most men fail to see the tyrant who rules over them." -Albert Einstein, Princeton, April 10, 1938Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity.

An homage to the men and women of science, and an exposition of Einstein''s place in scientific historyIn this fascinating collection of articles and speeches, Albert Einstein reflects not only on the scientific method at work in his own theoretical discoveries, but also eloquently expresses a great appreciation for his scientific contemporaries and forefathers, including Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Max Planck, and Niels Bohr. While Einstein is renowned as one of the foremost innovators of modern science, his discoveries uniquely his own, through his own words it becomes clear that he viewed himself as only the most recent in a long line of scientists driven to create new ways of understanding the world and to prove their scientific theories.Einstein''s thoughtful examinations explain the "how" of scientific innovations both in his own theoretical work and in the scientific method established by those who came before him.This authorized Philosophical Library book features a new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."What place does the theoretical physicist''s picture of the world occupy among all these possible pictures? It demands the highest possible standard of rigorous precision in the description of relations, such as only the use of mathematical language can give" -Albert Einstein, "Principles of Research"Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity.

E=mc2: It may be Einstein''s most well-known contribution to modern science, but how many people understand the thought process or physics behind this famous equation?In this collection of his seven most important essays on physics, Einstein guides his reader step-by-step through the many layers of scientific theory that formed a starting point for his discoveries. By both supporting and refuting the theories and scientific efforts of his predecessors, Einstein reveals in a clear voice the origins and meaning of such significant topics as physics and reality, the fundamentals of theoretical physics, the common language of science, the laws of science and of ethics, and an elementary derivation of the equivalence of mass and energy.This remarkable collection allows the general reader to understand not only the significance of Einstein''s masterpiece, but also the brilliant mind behind it.This authorized Philosophical Library book features a new introduction by Neil Berger and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."The ''principle of relativity'' in its widest sense is contained in the statement: The totality of physical phenomena is of such a character that it gives no basis for the introduction of the concept of "absolute motion;" or shorter but less precise: There is no absolute motion." -Albert Einstein, "The Theory of Relativity"Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934.

A lively collection of Einstein''s groundbreaking scientific correspondence on modern physicsImagine 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 Schr├╢dinger, and Albert Einstein.These remarkable letters illuminate not only the basis of Schr├╢dinger''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 Philosophical Library book features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."You are the only contemporary physicist, besides Laue, who sees that one cannot get around the assumption of reality-if only one is honest. Most of them simply do not see what sort of risky game they are playing with reality-reality as something independent of what is experimentally established." -Albert Einstein to Erwin Schr├╢dinger"I am as convinced as ever that the wave representation of matter is an incomplete representation of the state of affairs, no matter how practically useful it has proved itself to be." -Albert Einstein to Erwin Schr├╢dingerAlbert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity. In addition to his scientific work, Einstein was an influential humanist who spoke widely about politics, ethics, and social causes. After leaving Europe, Einstein taught at Princeton University.

An inspiring collection of the great thinker''s views on a rapidly changing worldNuclear proliferation, Zionism, and the global economy are just a few of the insightful and surprisingly prescient topics scientist Albert Einstein discusses in this volume of collected essays from between 1931 and 1950. Written with a clear voice and a thoughtful perspective on the effects of science, economics, and politics in daily life, Einstein''s writings provide an intriguing view inside the mind of a genius addressing the philosophical challenges presented during the turbulence of the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the dawn of the Cold War.This authorized Philosophical Library book features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."What is the situation? The development of technology and of the implements of war has brought about something akin to a shrinking of our planet. Economic interlinking has made the destinies of nations interdependent to a degree far greater than in previous years." -Albert Einstein, "Towards a World Government""If we want to resist the powers which threaten to suppress intellectual and individual freedom we must keep clearly before us what is at stake, and what we owe to that freedom which our ancestors have won for us after hard struggles." -Albert Einstein, "Science and Civilization"Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity.

This volume covers one of the most thrilling two-year periods in twentieth-century physics, as matrix mechanicsΓÇödeveloped chiefly by W. Heisenberg, M. Born, and P. JordanΓÇöand wave mechanicsΓÇödeveloped by E. Schr├╢dingerΓÇösupplanted the earlier quantum theory. The almost one hundred writings by Einstein, of which a third have never been published, and the more than thirteen hundred letters show EinsteinΓÇÖs immense productivity and hectic pace of life.Einstein quickly grasps the conceptual peculiarities involved in the new quantum mechanics, such as the difference between Schr├╢dingerΓÇÖs wave function and a field defined in spacetime, or the emerging statistical interpretation of both matrix and wave mechanics. Inspired by correspondence with G. Y. Rainich, he investigates with Jakob Grommer the problem of motion in general relativity, hoping for a hint at a new avenue to unified field theory.Einstein falls victim to scientific fraud when, in a collaboration with E. Rupp, he becomes convinced that the latterΓÇÖs experiments, aimed at deciding whether excited atoms emit light instantaneously (in quanta) or in a finite time (in waves), confirm a wave-theoretic explanation.While it was known that the teenage Einstein had been romantically involved with Marie Winteler in 1895, newly discovered documents reveal that his love for Marie was rekindled in 1909ΓÇô10 while he was still married to Mileva Mari─ç.The 1925 Locarno Treaties renew EinsteinΓÇÖs optimism in European reconciliation. He backs the ΓÇ£International manifesto against compulsory military serviceΓÇ¥ and continues his participation in the League of NationsΓÇÖ International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. He remains intensely committed to the shaping of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, although his enthusiasm for this cause is sorely tested.

Nu foreligger for første gang på dansk nogle af de vigtigste videnskabelige og filosofiske tekster i det 20. Århundrede.Niels Bohrs filosofiske skrifter Bind 4Indeholder 8 af Bohrs vigtigste tekster, som aldrig før har været oversat til dansk, og indeholder en række vigtige artikler, der ikke har været alment tilgængelige i 50 år.Først og fremmest indeholder bogen den berømte Einstein (Podolsky og Rosen) artikel fra 1935, der hævder, at kvantemekanikken ikke kan accepteres som en fysisk teori, samt Bohrs barske svar på denne artikel.Bindet giver alt i alt en god oversigt over Bohrs forståelse af kvantefysik, atomteori, kemi, kernefysik og komplementaritet.Endelig rummer bindet tekster, der udfolder den sammenhæng - som Bohr mente, der er - mellem fysisk videnskab og emner i relation til kultur, religion og det mellemfolkelige samvirke nationerne imellem.
