Einstein, Albert correspondence

The latter was a rather extraordinary person. Born in 1872, he started his career as an elementary school teacher, finally obtaining, as a self-taught man, the title of Doctor in physical and mathematical sciences in 1899. Very soon he became interested in relativity and started in 1916 a long correspondence with Albert Einstein. He also had contacts with many other great scientists of that...

Here w always has the sign opposite that of d /dx so that D is always positive formula (11) represents a natural generalization of the expression first found by Albert Einstein [9], for the diffusion of a dissolved substance in a liquid. In our problem of formation of a new phase, (sc) has a maximum which corresponds to an extremely sharp minimum4 of b. 

James Clerk Maxwell died in 1879, the same year that Albert Einstein was born. Sixteen years later Einstein recognized that Maxwell s equations are covariant with respect to the Lorentz transformations between relatively moving inertial frames of reference, that is, reference frames that are in constant relative motion in a straight line. Thus, Einstein recognized in 1895 that the laws of electrodynamics, expressed with Maxwell s held equations, must be in one-to-one correspondence in all possible inertial frames of reference, from the view of any one of them [1].

The relation between Ob (or a corresponding quantity) and Db was only discovered in 1908, almost simultaneously by Albert Einstein and Marian von Smoluchowski ... 

This way of thinking about the problem of realism corresponds to what Isabelle Stengers has termed the faith of the physicist . This credo, championed by Max Planck and Albert Einstein among others.
