Description: Einstein Studies in Russia by Y. Balashov, V.P. Vizgin This volume presents a selection of the best contributions by Russian scholars to the Einstein Studies industry. Topics include the famous exchange between Einstein and Alexander Friedmann in the early 1920s and the role of Podolsky and Fock in the emergence of quantum electrodynamics. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This volume presents a selection of contributions by Russian scholars - historians and philosophers to science - to the Einstein Studies industry, broadly construed. This work explores the historical and foundational issues in general relativity and relativistic cosmology, Einsteins contributions to early quantum mechanics and the rise of Diracs quantum electrodynamics. It also includes a detailed description of the physics colloquium Einstein established and coordinated in 1912-1913 and comments on his brief interest in the construction of the plane wing in 1916. The contributors draw extensively on documentation previously unavailable to most scholars. Materials from various Russian archives shed new light on the famous exchange (regarding the first evolutionary cosmological models) between Einstein and Alexander Friedmann in the early 1920s and on the role of Boris Podolsky and Vladimir Fock in the emergence of quantum electrodynamics. The little-known correspondence between Einstein and a famous German pilot Paul Erhardt suggests that during World War I, the former was involved with aero- and hydrodynamics research and ways of improving airplane design.Other articles introduce new approaches to important foundational questions in general relativity and cosmology. Notes Volume offers a selection of the best contributions by Russianscholars to the Einstein Studies industry. Contributors drawextensively on documentation previously unavailable and explore thehistorical and foundational issues in general relativity andrelativistic cosmology. Historians, philosophers, and sociologists ofscience will find much new and unexpected material presenting the bestof recent Russian scholarship in the field. Also very accessible tothe general reader.
