Einstein on Involutions in Projective Geometry
Tilman Sauer, Tobias Schütz
We discuss Einstein's knowledge of projective geometry. We show that two pages of Einstein's Scratch Notebook from around 1912 with geometrical sketches can directly be associated…
Einstein's Washington Manuscript on Unified Field Theory
Tilman Sauer, Tobias Schütz
In this note, we point attention to and briefly discuss a curious manuscript of Einstein, composed in 1938 and entitled "Unified Field Theory," the only such writing, published or…
Einstein's Working Sheets and His Search For a Unified Field Theory
Tilman Sauer
The Einstein Archives contain a considerable collection of calculations in the form of working sheets and scratch paper, documenting Einstein's scientific preoccupations during the…
Exploring Gravitational Lensing
Tilman Sauer, Tobias Schütz
In this article, we discuss the idea of gravitational lensing, from a systematic, historical and didactic point of view. We show how the basic lensing equation together with the co…
A Look Back at the Ehrenfest Classification. Translation and Commentary of Ehrenfest's 1933 paper introducing the notion of phase transitions of different order
Tilman Sauer
A translation of Paul Ehrenfest's 1933 paper, entitled "Phase transitions in the usual and generalized sense, classified according to the singularities of the thermodynamic potenti…
The Stern-Gerlach Experiment Revisited
Horst Schmidt-Böcking, Lothar Schmidt, Hans Jürgen Lüdde +2
The Stern-Gerlach-Experiment (SGE) of 1922 is a seminal benchmark experiment of quantum physics providing evidence for several fundamental properties of quantum systems. Based on t…
