Description

First offprint in the original wrappers, of Einstein's paper on the important findings of German mathematician and physicist Theodor Kaluza about gravitation and electricity. - Content: Kaluza "attempted to unify Einstein's theory of gravity with Maxwell's theory of light by mixing them in a fifth dimension". Together with the Swedish theoretical physicist Oskar Klein Kaluza produced the „Kaluza-Klein field equations" (Calaprice, Einstein Almanac, 135). Their insights, however, were "neglected for many years as attention was directed towards quantum mechanics. [Their] idea that fundamental forces can be explained by additional dimensions did not re-emerge until string theory was developed" (Wikipedia). - Condition: Mint. - Reference: Boni-Russ-L. 170; Schilpp-Shields 212; Weil 156.
