In-16° (190x121mm), pp. (4), 56, (8) di catalogo della collana editoriale, brossura editoriale. Ritratto di Einstein in antiporta. Ingialliture fisiologiche della carta, ma splendido esemplare protetto da velina e a fogli chiusi. Prima edizione in lingua francese di due importanti memorie einsteiniane sulla relatività speciale o ristretta, Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Korper e di Die Tragheit eines Korpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhangig ? La prima memoria è a landmark in the development of physics, one of the two papers that laid out the theory of special relativity, formulated a new conception of time. By assuming that the speed of light is the same to every observer moving at a constant velocity, Einstein showed that space and time were not independent: spacetime was born. According to Hermann Weyl in 1918, this theory led to the discovery that time is associated as a fourth coordinate on an equal footing with the other three coordinates of space, and that the scene of material events, the world, is therefore a four-dimensional, metrical continuum. It was a revolutionary piece of scientific work” (Calaprice, The Einstein Almanac, 15). Nella seconda memoria, annota sempre il Calaprice, Einstein impiega “the postulates of the special theory of relativity, Einstein showed that energy radiated is equivalent to mass lost For the first time he concluded that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content ” (ibid, 16).
