Rare Einstein manuscript set to fetch millions
Phys.org ^

Posted on 11/22/2021 6:19:08 PM PST by algore

A rare manuscript by theoretical physicist Albert Einstein goes under the hammer in Paris on Tuesday, with auctioneers aiming for a stratospheric price tag.

The manuscript, containing preparatory work for Einstein's key achievement the theory of relativity, is estimated at between two and three million euros (2.3-3.4 million), according to Christie's which is hosting the sale on behalf of the Aguttes auction house.

"This is without a doubt the most valuable Einstein manuscript ever to come to auction," Christie's said in a statement.

The 54-page document was handwritten in 1913 and 1914 in Zurich, Switzerland, by Einstein and his colleague and confidant, Swiss engineer Michele Besso.

Christie's said it was thanks to Besso that the manuscript was preserved for posterity.

This was "almost like a miracle" since the German-born genius himself would have been unlikely to hold on to what he considered to be a simple working document, Christie's said.

Today, the paper offers "a fascinating plunge into the the mind of the 20th century's greatest scientist", it said.

I don't know about you, but the term "Manuscript" is really very sexist, as it implies that only Men can write.

Even worse in this context it implies "math is hard" for the non male gendered.

“Manuscript” means written by hand or typed.

Manu is Latin for ‘by hand’.

(In French, the word for hand is ‘main’. In Spanish and Italian, it’s ‘mano’.)

That’s why it was originally called the “mansplain of relativity”. But when this was deemed offensive and women couldn’t understand a word of it anyway, they renamed it to something that didn’t leave out any underclass or subset of oppressed or downtrodden people.

One should consider the many ways in which Einstein was an abject and complete fraud. He's sent 20th century physics chasing after unicorn glitter and leprechaun farts.

All of modern quantum physics is based on a foundation of photon particles. Particle this, particle that, wave/particle duality nonsense that was already debunked thousands of years ago by Egyptian, Greek and Indian cultures.

In the more modern era, J.J Thompson, Oliver Heaviside, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, Eric Dollard, Nikola Tesla, James Clerk Maxwell, and others all refuted aspects of Einstein's nonsense, rejecting it. Einstein would've gotten nowhere without the help of his wife Anna's organizational and writing skills. Albert E would have been laughed out of all the Universities if C.P. Steinmetz hadn't edited and fixed what he recognized as many errors in Einstein's equations.

Like today's media, more rational minds of the early twentieth century were out-cheered by the cabalistic shills for Albert Einstein.

Even if you consider this post from left field and possibly nuts, as a way of expanding your mind, please consider the actual content of the following three videos (if you're able).

Thanks, I was going to look that up.

The special theory of relativity has been theoretically disproven in a paper published in spring of 2016.

The paper has cleaned up the definition of physical time and proven that the time of a physical clock is an invariant of the Lorentz Transformation (an invariant of inertial reference frames which are the same as Galilean time). The fact of the invariance of clock time -Lorentz invariance of clock time. Now it is possible to synchronize clocks in any/all inertial reference frames to produce an absolute and universal physical time. This universal physical time is demonstrated in the universal synchronization of all satellite clocks and ground clocks of the global positioning system. GPS has disproven the special theory in this way.

The time of the STR is no longer the physical time measured with physical clocks.

Lorentz Transformation does the same to redefine time and space as functions of Galilean time and space and thus produces an artificially constant speed of light in all inertial reference frames.The time dilation and length contraction of the STR in a moving inertial reference frame are just illusions.

At first glance I thought they found the Jeffrey Epstein suicide note. He mailed it in with his absentee ballot! LMFAO

Based on the contents of the three videos, the gentleman, happily anonymous other than clearly appearing on the screen without a disguise!, is a seemingly a self-satisfied skeptic, and is most likely a deeply devoted atheist. His commentary is repetitive. He is annoyingly cryptic.
Much of his criticism is summary, conclusory, quite noticeably lacking in specific content. With a few items in which he does delve below surface level, he abruptly stops talking about such detail and bobs back up to surface like a cork. Thin gruel, my friend. That said, like room temperature or so-called “cold” fusion, the subject is worth a listen, and
worth maybe keeping one’s eyes and ears open for future updates.

Maxwell would have had a particularly hard time refuting anything Einstein did on account of his dying in the same year Einstein was born.

The guy in the videos is not anonymous. He puts in name and email contact info in text form below the YT video, usually if not always.

His video formula is indeed bite-sized at typically less than 20 minutes each, but if he says things of interest, here’s usually got a handful that go into each area in further detail.

CIA asset Richard Milhous Nixon had memorized the formula for “free energy” before he was VP.

“Plastics!”

Thanks.

Time can only be measure and not a principal, not physical.

Similarly, Einstein’s space is also not a “thing” that can be warped, bent or folded.

Thanks for your elucidating comments.

I’ll bet your brand/mixture keeps you happy.

I’ve never in my life done drugs or experimental snake bites.

Yeah, got it.

Becoming more familiar with atheists approaching the superannuated state.

They have such obvious contempt for what they view as stupidity in their fellow man

I do not think that word means what they think it means.

One doesn't have to aspire to become an imperfect person to learn from them.

Ken Wheeler makes a good case for not being what we believe.
