Einstein's 1916 derivation of the Field Equations

Galina Weinstein

In his first November 4, 1915 paper Einstein wrote the Lagrangian form of his field equations. In the fourth November 25, 1915 paper, Einstein added a trace term of the energy-mome…

Einstein and the conservation of energy-momentum in general relativity

Galina Weinstein

The main purpose of the present paper is to show that a correction of one mistake was crucial for Einstein's pathway to the first version of the 1915 general theory of relativity,…

The Mythical Snake which Swallows its Tail: Einstein's matter world

Galina Weinstein

In 1917 Einstein introduced into his field equations a cosmological term having the cosmological constant as a coefficient, in order that the theory should yield a static universe.…

The 1905 Relativity Paper and the "Light Quantum"

Galina Weinstein

In 1905 the well-known physicist Max Planck was coeditor of the Annalen der Physik, and he accepted Einstein's paper on light quanta for publication, even though he disliked the id…

PBR theorem and Einstein's quantum hole argument

Galina Weinstein

Upon reading Einstein's views on quantum incompleteness in publications or in his correspondence after 1935 (the EPR paradox), one gets a very intense feeling of deja-vu. Einstein…
