Some strangeness in the proportion: a centennial symposium to celebrate the achievements of Albert Einstein
This volume gathers contributions from a centennial symposium convened to honor Albert Einstein's scientific legacy on the occasion of his birth centenary in 1979. The title derives from Edgar Allan Poe's phrase describing beauty, here applied to the elegant and often counterintuitive mathematical structures that characterize Einstein's physical theories. The book contains papers by physicists, mathematicians, historians, and philosophers of science examining various aspects of Einstein's work, including relativity theory, quantum mechanics, cosmology, and his broader intellectual influence. The symposium format reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Einstein's impact, bringing together perspectives from multiple fields to assess his enduring contributions to twentieth-century science and thought. more
