Excerpt from The Meaning of Relativity: Four Lectures Delivered at Princeton University, May, 1921I shall not go into detail concerning those properties Of the space of reference which lead to our conceiving points as elements of space, and space as a continuum. Nor shall I attempt to analyse further the properties Of space which justify the conception of continuous series Of points, or lines. If these concepts are assumed, together with their relation to the solid bodies Of experience, then it is easy to say what we mean by the three-dimensionality of space; to each point three numbers, 13, x2, x3 (co ordinates), may be associated, in such a way that this association is uniquely reciprocal, and that 43, x2, and x3 vary continuously when the point describes a continuous series Of points (a line).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Recommended to all scientists." — Journal of Royal Naval Scientific Service "The publishers do us a service by issuing this reprint." — The Institute of Physics "An underpinning for the entire edifice of physics." — Scientific American A comprehensive survey of eighteenth-century knowledge about all aspects of light, Opticks also offers countless scientific insights by its distinguished author. One of the most readable of all the great classics of physical science, this volume will impress readers with its surprisingly modern perspectives. In language that lay readers can easily follow, Sir Isaac Newton describes his famous experiments with spectroscopy and colors, lenses, and the reflection and diffraction of light. Book I contains his fundamental experiments with the spectrum, Book II deals with the ring phenomena, and Book III covers diffraction. The work concludes with "Queries" — speculations concerning light and gravitation. Opticks is introduced with a Foreword by Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein in His Own Words

Randon House

'Einstein was not only the ablest man of science of his generation, he was also a wise man, which is something different. If statesmen had listened to him, the course of human events would have been less disastrous than it has been. This verdict, from the Preface by Bertrand Russell, sums up the importance of this first collection of Albert Einstein's writing on war, peace, and the atom bomb. In this volume, thanks to the Estate of Albert Einstein's writings on war, peace, and the atom bomb. In this volume, thanks to the Estate of Albert Einstein, the complete story is told of how one of the greatest minds of modern times worked from 1914 to 1955 on the problem of peace. It is a fascinating record of a man's courage, his sincerity, and his concern for those who survive him. This book is also a history of the peace movement in modern times. Here are letters to and from some of the most famous men of his generation, including between Einstein and Freud on aggression and war, and to President Roosevelt reporting the theoretical possibility of nuclear fission. It is the living record of more than 40 years of Einstein's intriguing struggle to mobilize forces all over the world for the abolition of war and the creation of a supranational organization to solve conflicts among nations.
