A few comments on the Einstein/Maric correspondence: I've now received the translated letters (Renn and Schulmann, 1992). Something not apparent from the Lukacs article on which I have commented at length (30 November) is the preponderance of letters by Einstein in the collection (43 by Einstein co

While I can't comment with sophistication on the physics mentioned in this thread I have to ask a simple question from a human nature perspective. Having gone through a divorce (and having seen many others do the same) it seems impossible to imagine a scenario in which the "injured" party accep

An addendum to my last posting, relating to the inflated claim made by Evan Harris Walker about Mileva Maric's supposed contributions to Einstein's epoch-making 1905 paper on the photoelectric arising from her attending the lectures of Lenard at Heidelberg in 1899. Here is an extract from a letter
