Carte postale autographe signée adressée au Professeur Ludwig Hopf
Zurich 21 juin 1910, 9x14cm, une carte postale.
| Einstein écrit à «l'ami des plus grands génies de son temps» |<br>* Carte postale autographe signée d'Albert Einstein adressée à Ludwig Hopf, 18 lignes écrites au verso et recto, adresse également de la main d'Einstein. Tampon postal indiquant la date du 21 juin 1910. Publiée dans The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 5: The Swiss Years: Correspondence, 1902-1914, Princeton University Press, 1993, n°218, p. 242. *** Exceptionnelle et très esthétique carte d'Albert Einstein à «l'ami des plus grands génies de son temps» -selon Schrödinger -le mathématicien et physicien Ludwig Hopf, qui permit la rencontre d'Einstein avec un autre génie du XXe siècle : Carl Jung. Le maître invite ici son élève à un dîner comptant au nombre des invités le scientifique Max Abraham, futur grand rival des années zurichoises et fervent opposant à la théorie de la relativité d'Einstein. Le destinataire de cette carte, Ludwig Hopf, rejoint Einstein en 1910 en tant qu'assistant et élève à ses séminaires de physique et de théorie cinétique à l'Université de Zürich. Ils signent deux articles fondamentaux sur les aspects statistiques de la radiation et donnent leurs noms à la force de résistance «Einstein-Hopf». Leurs échanges épistolaires retracent le complexe cheminement des travaux d'Einstein sur la relativité et la gravitation, témoignant de leur grande complicité et du précieux apport de Hopf dans les recherches du maître. Quelques mois après l'écriture de cette missive, Hopf trouvera même une erreur dans les calculs d'Einstein sur les dérivées de certaines composantes de la vitesse que ce dernier corrigera dans un article l'année suivante.Ils forment également un duo musical et interprètent les grands génies de la musique, Hopf accompagnant au piano le violon du maître sur des morceaux de Bach et Mozart. Einstein invite par cette carte son élève et ami Hopf à un dîner avec Max Abraham, à l'aube d'une controverse scientifique majeure qui les opposera à partir de 1911. La théorie de la relativité restreinte selon Abraham ne convaincra pas Einstein qui soulignera le peu de moyens de vérification par l'observation et son manque de prédiction de la courbure gravitationnelle de la lumière. En 1912, leur différend deviendra public par publications interposées. Abraham ne reconnaîtra jamais la validité de la théorie einsteinienne. Au cours de leurs brillants échanges artistiques et intellectuels, Hopf a sans doute réussi là où Freud avait échoué comme il lui avouera dans une lettre:«Je romprai avec vous si vous vous glorifiez d'avoir converti Einstein à la psychanalyse. Une longue conversation que j'ai eue avec lui il ya quelques années m'a montré que l'analyse lui était tout aussi hermétique que peut m'être la théorie de la relativité.»(Vienne, 27 septembre 1931).Fervent adepte de la psychanalyse, Hopfest en effet connu pour avoir présentéle célèbre psychanalyste Carl Jung à Einstein. Hopf et son maître partiront tous deux pour l'Université Karl-Ferdinand de Prague en 1911, où ils fréquenteront l'écrivain Franz Kafka et son fidèle ami Max Brod dans le salon de Mme Fanta. Avec l'avènement du régime nazi, les destins de cesdeux théoriciens de la mécanique du mondeseront marqués par les persécutions et l'exil, Einstein se réfugiant tout d'abord en Belgique, Hopf en Grande-Bretagne après sa mise à pied en 1934 de l'université d'Aix-la-Chapelle à cause de ses origines juives. Les deux savants continueront àentretenir une prolifique correspondance au cur de la tourmente, Einstein suggérant à Hopf l'ouverture d'une université à l'étranger pour les étudiants allemands exilés. Hopf s'éteindra peu de temps après avoir prisla chaire de mathématiques duTrinity College deDublin en juillet 1939. Précieuse invitation du grand physicien à l'ultime dîner réunissant la "vieille école" scientifique symbolisée parMax Abraham, à l'aube de la publication de la théorie de la relativité générale, qui bouleversera les conceptions classiques de l'espace et du temps et propulsera la Science dans le XXe siècle. "Lieber Herr Hopf, ich hatte bei unserer Verabredung vergessen, dass ich morgen 6 Uhr Fakultätssitzung habe. Deshalb habe ich Herrn Abraham für morgen nach der [biffé :Vorlesung] Sitzung zum Abendessen gebeten (halb 8 Uhr). Ich bitte Sie, auch zu kommen. Herrn Rusch werde ich auch einladen und wahrscheinlich Herrn Prof[essor] Zermelo. Mit besten Grüssen / Ihr Einstein" "Cher Monsieur Hopf, j'avais oublié lors de notre rendez-vous que j'avais une réunion de faculté demain à 6 heures. C'est pourquoi j'ai demandé à Monsieur Abraham de venir dîner demain après la [biffé :conférence] séance (7h30). Je vous prie de venir également. J'inviterai également Monsieur Rusch et probablement Monsieur le Prof[essor] Zermelo. Avec mes meilleures salutations / Votre Einstein" - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com -

Über die Interferenzeigenschaften des durch Kanalstrahlen emittierten Lichtes [Einstein] (+) Über die Interferenzeigenschaften des Kanalstrahllichtes [Rupp]. Offprint from ""Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften"", XXV, 1926. - [THE GREATEST SCANDAL IN PHYSICS - AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION OFFPRINT ISSUE]
1926. Royal8vo. Author's presentation offprint with the printed presentation statement on top of frontwrapper ""Überreicht von den Verfassern"" [i.e. ""Given by the authors""]. Original printed wrappers. Front wrapper loose, but fully intact. ""Chilpp 202"" and ""Recdese 160"" written in hand to top of front wrapper. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 334-351.
First edition, in the scarce author's presentation offprint issue, of this important paper, which contains Einstein's theories on wave-particle duality and German physicist Rupp's work on the same subject, seemingly to corroborating Einstein's theories. Rupp's experimental results later turned out to have been falsifications, and today he is mainly known as the protagonist in one of the biggest scandals in physics in the 20th century.Rupp published a number of papers on the interference properties of light emitted by canal ray sources. These articles, particularly the present that came into being in close collaboration with Albert Einstein, attracted quite a lot of attention, as they probed the wave versus particle nature of light. They also significantly propelled Rupp's career, even though they were considered highly controversial to begin with.In April 1926, Albert Einstein proposed to Emil Rupp to carry out two experiments that were to prove the wave nature of light versus the particle nature of light: the so-called 'Wire Grid Experiment' and the 'Rotated Mirror Experiment', experiments that Einstein had worked on theoretically and now would like to gain confirmation of through experiments. Rupp, at the time regarded as one of the most important and most competent experimental physicists, gladly took up the challenge. Rupp's observations - though highly controversial - confirmed Einstein's theory. Due to the surprising outcome of the experiments, Einstein was interested in exactly how it they were conducted, as Rupp's initial descriptions did not convince him that the results were feasible.""Rupp stood by his observations and suggested yet other circumstances that might explain them. Did Einstein now realize that there was something rather dubious about Rupp's work? He had seen him change his data repeatedly-and each time in better accordance with his own criticism, and on one occasion in no less than two days. He had had to accept that Rupp claimed to earlier have ""unknowingly"" or ""unconsciously"" rotated a mirror, and he will likely have seen that Rupp's work was highly controversial amongst experimentalists, leading to very public criticism in Die Naturwissenschaften. He himself was now also convinced that, in fact, Rupp's results were incomprehensible. So, did Einstein choose to suspend the publication of Rupp's piece, so that an additional round of checks and balances could take place? The answer is no: Rupp's paper was presented by Einstein to the Prussian Academy in a session on 21 October 1926, and it appeared in print in the Academy's proceedings in November of 1926-the articles by Einstein and Rupp came out back to back, and reprints circulated with both papers bound together, with a joint cover page that displayed both titles. Einstein referred in his article to Rupp's claims and he had even written the abstract of Rupp's paper"" (Dongen: ""Emil Rupp, Albert Einstein and the Canal Ray Experiments on Wave-Particle"").The first clear indication that Rupp's work was impossible to recreate came in 1930 in a paper published by Staub - nothing was wrong with Einstein's theory but Rupp's work was simply impossible: ""Rupp immediately set out to respond to Straub's publication. On 12 July 1930 he sent a first draft to Einstein, to whom he also announced his intention of redoing his canal ray experiments-Straub was dismissed as a clumsy graduate student with a lousy apparatus. Einstein suggested inviting Straub once Rupp had his experiment up and running again, but cautioned him not to engage the polemic in too sharp a tone"". Rupp managed to convince the physics society and continued to publish the new few years. In 1934 various different physicians pointed out that Rupp's work was impossible to recreate, and in 1935 the final blow to Rupp's career came about, when the German Physical Society's decided not to allow any citations of Rupp's work. This seems to have had very severe consequences, as today it is almost impossible to find any quotations - or even mentioning of Rupp in general, let alone his fraud - in any historical studies of either quantum theory or of Einstein.Despite the unquestionable fraud by Rupp, his experiments and collaboration with Einstein might have had a positive influence on the further progression to quantum mechanics. The two present papers became of seminal importance in the discussions between Bohr and Heisenberg, which eventually in 1927 resulted in Heisenberg publishing his landmark thesis on the uncertainty principle. When Max Born received the Nobel Prize in physics he stated that: ""An idea of Einstein gave me the lead [From the present paper]. He had tried to make the duality of particles-light quanta or photons-and waves comprehensible by interpreting the square of the optical wave amplitudes as probability density for the occurrence of photons.""Boni 160" Weil 153.

Über die vom Relativitätsprincip geforderte Trägheit der Energie. (On the Inertia of Energy Required by the Relativity Principle).
Leibzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1907. 8vo. Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. Title-and tomelabels with gilt lettering. Slightly rubbed. In ""Annalen der Physik"", Vierte Folge, Band 23. VIII,1000 pp. a. 4 plates. (The entire volume offered). Einstein's paper: pp.371-384. A small stamp on titlepage (Gmelin.Institut.). Internally clean and fine.
First edition of the first explicit statement of Einstein's energy-mass equation E=mc2.Nearly all descriptions of Einstein's scientific work state that the mass-energy equivalence E=mc2 was first formulated in Einstein's 1907 review paper 'Über das Relativitätsprinzip und die aus demselben gezogenen.' published in 'Jahrbuch der Radioaktivität und Elektronik' (see Weil no. 21 and Dictionary of Scientific Biography, vol. 4 pp.323 for examples). However, in his paper 'Über die von Relativitätsprincip geforderte Trägheit der Energie' [the offered paper] which predates the former mentioned by six months, Einstein gave a clear statement of the mass-energy equivalence E=mc2. See Lanczos: The Einstein Decade, pp.149-150 and 153 as well as Volume 2 of 'The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein' pp. 428.Einstein's first paper regarding the relation E=mc2 is his fourth 1905 paper, 'Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig?'. In this short paper Einstein showed that a body releasing the energy E in the form of radiation will have its mass decreased by E/c2, and concluded that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content, e.g., that all energy has mass. The next time Einstein returns to the subject is in his 1906 paper 'Das Prinzip von der Erhaltung der Schwerpunkts Bewegung und die Trägheit der Energie.'. Here Einstein concluded that one must either ascribe the inertial mass E/c2 to any form of energy E or else give up the fundamental law mechanics regarding conservation of the motion of the center of gravity. Then finally in the 1907 paper 'Über die von Relativitätsprincip geforderte Trägheit der Energie.' [the offered paper] Einstein makes the decisive step of assuming that all mass has energy. On page 382 Einstein considers the total energy of a moving mass point as the sum of its kinetic energy and its rest energy. In classical mechanics it is most convenient to set the second term to zero but in relativistic mechanics one obtains the simplest expression by setting the rest energy equal to mc2. Einstein then continues to show that this stipulation cannot lead to a contradiction in any relativistic argument. In a footnote on page 382 Einstein states for the first time the equation E=mc2 and mentions that this equation is the expression of the principle of the equivalence of mass and energy - see Volume 2 of 'The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein' pp. 428.The volume contains another paper by Einstein ""Bemerkungen zu der Notiz von Hrn.

First printing of these four landmark paper in which Friedman ""introduced into cosmology two concepts of revolutionary importance, the age og the world and the creation of the world"" (Kragh, Cosmology and Controversy). ""In his paper of 1922, Friedmann offered a complete analysis of the solutions of Einstein's cosmological field equations that went beyond the earlier solutions of Einstein and de Sitter as it also included nonstatic solutions. Friedmann did so clearly and explicitly: ""The purpose of this note,"" he wrote, ""is firstly to show that the cylindrical [Einstein]and spherical [de Sitter] worlds are special cases of more general assumptions, and secondly to demonstrate the possibility of a world in which the curvature of space is independent of the three spatial coordinates but does on time"".(Ibid.).In 'Über die Krümmung des Raumes' Friedman derived the non-stationary solutions to Einstein's field equations. Einstein quickly responded in a short comment ('Bemerkung'), in which he expressed his suspicion of such a model of the Universe and apparently pointed out an error in Friedman's calculations. However, Friedman now wrote a letter to Einstein, in which he enclosed his full calculations. Shortly after this, Einstein submitted a short notice (Notiz), in which he admitted that he himself had performed a calculation error and that Friedman's solutions, which shed new light on the matter, were valid. Friedman's expanding universe model was corroborated by Edwin Hubble's red-shift observations in 1929. In 'Über die Möglichkeit einer Welt mit konstanter negativer Krümmung des Raumes' Friedman derived the Friedman-equations and demonstrated that he had command of all three Friedman-models describing positive, zero and negative curvature respectively, nearly a decade before the independent discoveries of the same models by Lemaître, Robertson, and Walker. ""Friedmann made a valuable contribution to Einstein's general theory of relativity. As always, his interest was not limited simply to familiarizing himself with this new field of science but led to his own remarkable investigations. Friedmann's work on the theory of relativity dealt with one of its most difficult questions, the cosmological problem. In his paper ""Über die Krümmung des Raumes"" (1922), he outlined the fundamental ideas of his cosmology: the supposition concerning the homogeneity of the distribution of matter in space and the consequent homogence of ""world"" time for which, at any moment in time, the metrics of space will be identical at all points and in all directions. This theory is especially important because it leads to a sufficiently correct explanation of the fundamental phenomenon known as the ""red shift."" This solution of the Einstein field equations, obtained from the above propositions, is the model for any homogeneous and isotropic cosmological theory. It is interesting to note that Einstein thought that the cosmological solution to the equations of a field had to be static and had to lead to a closed model of the universe. Friedmann discarded both conditions and arrived at an independent solution. Einstein welcomed Friedmann's results because they showed the dispensability of the ad hoc cosmological term Einstein had been forced to introduce into the basic field equation of general relativity"".

APPENDIX FOR THE SECOND EDITION [of The Meaning of Relativity] + APPENDIX II. GENERALIZED THEORY OF GRAVITATION. - [ORIGINAL PROOF-COPY]
[1950]. 8vo. Original proof-copy (of the latest stage, presumably final proof, in the same format as the printed version and with no corrections), printed on rectos and versos. Stapled twice in left margin. A few marginal creases. A (proof-) number to upper left corner in red ink (297). Pp. 109-148 + tipped-in errata slip at p. 147.
Very rare original proof-copy of the two highly important appendices for Einstein's ""The Meaning of Relativity"", third edition, 1950, the second appendix being one of the most important pieces Einstein ever wrote, namely the appendix ""in which he described his most recent work on unification"" (Pais), and the work which was hailed by The New York Times under the heading ""New Einstein theory gives a master key to the universe"". The first appendix, which appeared for the second edition of the work, remained unchanged throughout the history of ""the Meaning of Relativity"" and was written because ""Since the first edition of this little book some advances have been made in the theory of relativity. [...] The first step forward is the conclusive demonstration of the existence of the red shift of the spectral lines by the (negative) gravitational potential of the place of origin"" [...] A second step forward, which will be mentioned briefly, concerns the law of motion of a gravitating body."" [...] A third step forward, concerning the so-called ""cosmologic problem,"" wiil be considered here in detail..."" (pp. 109-10). The present 40 pages constitute the final proof-copy of the entire appendices I and II to the Generalized Theory of Gravitation, exactly as they appeared in the third edition (Princeton in 1950). Einstein's ""The Meaning of Relativity"" was originally published in 1922, on the basis of his ""Vier Vorlesungen ueber Relativitetstheorie"" given at Princeton in 1921. A second edition, with an appendix (appendix I) appeared in 1945 (several issues and editions of this appeared also), and in 1949 the third edition, with the seminal Appendix II printed for the first time, appears (also appeared in 1950, in Princeton). In 1950 a revised edition of the third edition appears, having Appendix II slightly revised, and in 1953 the heavily revised fourth edition appears. THIS IS THE PROOF-COPY OF APPENDICES I AND II FOR THE ""THIRD EDITION, INCLUDING THE GENERALIZED THEORY OF GRAVITATION"" (PRINCETON, 1950). The main focus of the work throughout all these editions of the work since 1949 is Appendix II, which deals with Einstein's main interest, the generalization of the Gravitation Theory, which was to unite the general theory of relativity with electromagnetism, recovering an approximation for quantum theory, and presenting us with a theory to explain the universe as a unified entity, the ultimate goal for the greatest physicist that ever lived. ""This was Einstein's ultimate response to the mechanical-electromagnetic crisis in physical theory he had first talked about in the opening of his 1905 light quantum-paper."" (Nandor, in D.S.B., p. 330). It was indeed Einstein's aim to provide an explanation of the universe through his unified field theory, although he was well aware that his sort of field theory might not exist. However, even the establishing of the non-existence of it could bring us closer to an explanation than we had ever been before. There is no topic of greater importance to Einstein than his theory of unification. ""In 1949 Einstein wrote a new appendix for the third edition of his ""The Meaning of Relativity"" in which he described his most recent work on unification. It was none of his doing that a page of his manuscript appeared on the front page of ""The New York Times"" under the heading ""New Einstein theory gives a master key to the universe"". He refused to see reporters and asked Helen Dukas to relay this message to them: ""Come back and see me in twenty years""."" (Pais, p. 350).

Entwurf einer Landschaft. Illustré de lithographies par C.-L. Roux.
Paris, Éditions de la Galerie Simon, 1930. Grand in-4 broché, couverture imprimée. Chemise en demi-box noir, étui (Honegger).
Illustré de 5 lithographies de Gaston-Louis Roux, dont une en frontispice. Édition originale. Tirage à 112 exemplaires, un des X exemplaires de chapelle sur Hollande van Gelder, signé par l’auteur et l’illustrateur. Enrichi d’un envoi autographe de l’auteur à Erna Reber, la dédicataire du livre, ainsi que des cinq dessins originaux ayant servis aux illustrations de ce livre, tous signés. Amis de la première heure, Carl Einstein rencontre Kahnweiler dès son arrivée à Paris vers 1904. Amateur de peinture cubiste, il écrit également des romans et de la poésie, que Kahnweiler apprécie particulièrement. Intellectuel engagé, Einstein devient un fin critique et un grand théoricien de l'art primitif. En 1915 son livre Negerplastik fait date, tout comme la somme sur l’art de son temps, Die Kunst des 20e Jahrhunderts. Pour rédiger ses travaux, il entre en contact avec de nombreux artistes et collectionneurs à travers l’Europe. C’est ainsi qu’il rencontre Gottlieb Friedrich Reber, immense collectionneur des peintres cubistes de la première heure. D’origine allemande, Reber s’installe en Suisse après la Première Guerre mondiale. Dans son histoire de l’art, Einstein illustrera le chapitre sur le cubisme avec les œuvres de la collection Reber. Et ils collaboreront tous les deux à la revue surréaliste Documents. C’est dire si la présence d’un envoi autographe d’Einstein à Erna Reber, est précieuse: l’ouvrage lui étant déjà dédié, il lui est personnellement dédicacé ! Entwurf einer Landschaft (Esquisse d’un paysage) est le premier livre publié par Einstein en France. Recueil de poèmes au ton hermétique, il ne connait pas un grand succès, et pour cause, ni l’éditeur ni son auteur n’ont cru utile d’en donner une traduction en français. Gaston-Louis Roux a intégré la Galerie Simon en 1927, à l'âge de vingt-trois ans, mais n’avait pas encore réalisé d’illustrations pour Kahnweiler. Il avait déjà une expérience en ce domaine, puisqu’il avait travaillé pour Pascal Pia, spécialisé dans la littérature érotique clandestine. Ainsi Roux et Einstein se connaissent, ils collaborent à la revue Documents, et Einstein lui consacre même une partie d’un chapitre dans son histoire de l’art. Toutefois, l’illustration qui naîtra de cette collaboration est des plus déroutantes. Entwurf - esquisse - ainsi semblent les dessins réalisés par Roux. On peut aisément penser que ce rare exemplaire de chapelle, enrichi des dessins originaux, a été offert par le poète et le peintre à l’épouse du collectionneur lorsque le couple visitait la Galerie Simon. Et il est amusant de noter que sur la page de titre se trouvent non pas deux, mais trois coquilles ! Skira 320; Hugues 26; Pompidou p. 187; Chapon p. 285; Galland p. 952.
Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung. - [FOUNDING LASER PHYSICS.]
Leipzig, S. Hirzel, 1917. Royal8vo. Bound in contemporary half calf with gilt lettering to spine and 5 raised bands with ornaments in gilt. In ""Physikalische Zeitschrift"", Bd. 18, 1917.

The paper was first published in 1916 in Mitteilungen der Physikalischen Gesellschaft in Zürich, but here for the first time in Physikalische Zeitschrift. All subsequent research on absorption and emission of radiation and the entire discovery of the maser, later the laser, was based on the research presented in the present paper. The paper is also notable for introducing the concept (but not the name) of the photon"" Einstein argues that in the interaction of matter and radiation there must be, in addition to the processes of absorption and spontaneous emission, a third process of stimulated emission. If stimulated emission exists then he can derive the Planck distribution for blackbody radiation and without it the same argument implies the invalid Wien-distribution theory.""In this paper he derived Planck's original quantum law from a different starting point, he suggested that as well as spontaneous emission and absorption, there could also take place the process of stimulated emission. In 1917 this seemed mainly of theoretical interest"" forty years later it was utilized to provide the maser and laser of modern technology. In 1916, ""Einstein came back once more to blackbody radiation and made further progress. In November 1916 he wrote to Besso: 'A splendid light has fallen on me about the absorption and emission of radiation'. His reasoning is divided into three papers, two of which appeared in 1916 and the third one early in 1917 [the two papers above - note that these are the two papers of Einstein on radiation theory cited by Weil as ""principal works"""" a third paper from 1916 is not.] In these papers, Einstein proposed a statistical theory of the interaction between atoms and photons, gave a new demonstration of Planck's radiation theory and introduced the concept of 'stimulated emission', providing the basis for the discovery of masers and lasers "" (Bertolotti, The History of the Laser).""When Einstein returned to the radiation problem in 1916, the quantum theory had undergone a major change. Niels Bohr's papers had opened a new and fertile domain for the application of quantum concepts-the explanation of atomic structure and atomic spectra. In addition Bohr's work and its generalizations by Arnold Sommerfeld and others constituted a fresh approach to the foundations of the quantum theory of matter. Einstein's new work showed the influence of these ideas . He had found still another derivation of Planck's black-body radiation law, an ""astonishingly simple and general"" one which, he thought, mightproperly be called ""the derivation"" 12 of this important law. It was based on statistical assumptions about the processes of absorption and emission of radiation and on Bohr's basic quantum hypothesis that atomic systems have a discrete set of possible stationary states. The proof turned on the requirement that absorption and emission of radiation, both spontaneous and stimulated, suffice to keep a gas of atoms in thermodynamic equilibrium. (This paper introduced the concept of stimulated emission into the quantum theory and is therefore often described as the basis of laser physics.) Einstein himself considered the most important contribution of this work to be not the new derivation of the distribution law but rather the arguments he presented for the directional character of energy quanta.

De 1890 à 1892, il est privatdozent à Genève, et de 1893 à 1900, il est privatdozent au Polytechnicum de Zürich (aujourd'hui l'École polytechnique fédérale de Zurich). De 1900 à 1930, il est professeur ordinaire et directeur de l'institut de physique de l'Université de Genève. Il a comme doctorante Catherine Chamié qui soutient en 1913 une thèse intitulée Influence de la rapidité des variations du champ magnétisant sur l'hystérésis alternative et qui ira ensuite travailler à Paris avec Marie Curie. Il a principalement étudié les courants électriques, le magnétisme et les décharges électriques dans les gaz. Il a réalisé des expériences qui démontrent la dépendance de la masse de l'électron à sa vitesse dans le but de valider les prévisions de Lorentz et Einstein dans le cadre de la relativité restreinte. Il a participé aux 5e et 7e congrès Solvay. Il a écrit plusieurs ouvrages de vulgarisation et plus de 200 articles de physique (source : Wikipedia) - Comme l'indique C.-E. Guye dans l'avant-propos : ""Les travaux qui font l'objet de ce mémoire on été entrepris à la suite des discussions auxquelles avaient donné lieu les expériences bien connues de Kaufmann sur la variation d'inertie des corpuscules beta du radium. Ces expériences avaient démontré la variation d'inertie des corpuscules beta en fonction de la vitesse, mais elles étaient insufisamment précises pour permettre de trancher la question de savoir si cette variation était conforme à la théorie d'Abraham (Electron sphérique, indéformable) ou s'il fallait tenir compte dans cette variation de la contraction de Lorentz-Einstein, conformément au principe de relativité (...). Deux ans plus tard, M. Bucherer entreprit de nouvelles déterminations qui sans permettre de trancher définitivement la question étaient cependant plus favorable à la théorie de Lorentz-Einstein qu'à celle d'Abraham. L'idée me vient alors de chercher à attaquer le problème par l'étude des rayons cathodiques de grande vitesse.

Nommé professeur à l'université de Toronto en 1938, il revient dans sa terre natale où il est nommé professeur à l'université de Varsovie en 1950. Il y restera jusqu'à sa mort en 1968. Il fut signataire du Manifeste Russell-Einstein en 1955. (source : Wikipedia) - NB : Une histoire de la physique, de la mécanique de Newton jusquaux théories modernes (relativité, quanta), écrite en 1936 par Einstein et lun de ses disciples à Princeton, Léopold Infeld, pour financer le séjour de ce dernier. couverture à peine jaunie, sinon en très bon état, infime trace de pliure au coin supérieur droit du plat supérieur, intérieur frais et propre, papier légèrement jauni, cela reste un bel exemplaire - format de poche
