A Peek into Einstein's Zurich Notebook
- tariqr 14y agoIncredible. You can almost feel the mind thinking freely in that workflow. Pen and paper in the right hands...
- aristidb 14y agoLooks like it has been removed, I get a 403 error. :-/
- rainboiboi 14y agoyeap, i got it too. Wonder why.
- chmars 14y agoSame here … maybe just a hiccup.
- miga 14y agoSame problem here. Because I am outside US, maybe?
- wad0 14y agoThis should be the same notebook: http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView?url=/permanent/echo/einstein/Einstein_ZN/index.meta http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView?url=/permanent/...

- coditor 14y agoFascinating despite being way over my head. Amazing to see math of such complexity done without a computer - we're so spoiled today.
- stiff 14y agoI am not a physicist, maybe one would elaborate on this, but it seems to be rather straightforward mathematics for a physicist to use (fancied-up calculus), and I don't know how a computer would help here at the level of development computers are today, my laymans impression is that the art here lied in choosing what to derive, not in the derivations themselves.
