商品描述
There are very few publications devoted to Einstein's work outside of relativity. This book aims to fill the gap by exploring the scope of Einstein's contributions on topics including molecular forces, thermostatistics, the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, molecular currents, critical opalescence, energy quanta, dual structure of radiation, introduction of the photon, and the formulation of the first quantum statistics.
The book pays special attention to Einstein's scepticism toward certain ideas that came to light alongside Schrödinger's first formulation of wave mechanics in 1926, also addressing his doubts regarding the probabilistic interpretation of the quantum formalism, an issue closely connected with the hidden variable theories and their implications. The author discusses the early hidden variable theories, whose appearance was largely a result of Einstein's criticism of the orthodox interpretation of quantum formalism.
Finally, in an appendix, the author explores the controversy about the possible contribution that Mileva Maric, Albert Einstein's first wife, may have made to some of her husband's main scientific achievements.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書突顯了愛因斯坦在物理學上所做的眾多重要貢獻——除了他的相對論理論之外——並將他的每一項成就置於相應的背景中，並在過程中參考原始來源。
專門探討愛因斯坦在相對論之外工作的出版物非常少。本書旨在填補這一空白，探討愛因斯坦在分子力、熱統計學、光電效應、布朗運動、分子電流、臨界乳濁、能量量子、輻射的雙重結構、光子的引入以及第一個量子統計的公式化等主題上的貢獻範疇。
本書特別關注愛因斯坦對於某些與1926年薛丁格首次公式化波動力學同時出現的思想的懷疑，並探討他對量子形式主義的概率解釋的疑慮，這一問題與隱變量理論及其影響密切相關。作者討論了早期的隱變量理論，其出現在很大程度上是愛因斯坦對量子形式主義正統解釋的批評所致。
最後，在附錄中，作者探討了米列娃·馬里奇（Mileva Maric），愛因斯坦的第一任妻子，可能對她丈夫的一些主要科學成就所做的貢獻的爭議。
作者簡介
Luis Navarro Veguillas (Madrid, 1939) obtained his Ph.D. in Physical Sciences from the University of Barcelona in 1965, where he has developed his academic career. Since 2009, he has been Emeritus professor at the University of Barcelona.
His teaching has mainly dealt with classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics. Since 1990, his interest has focused exclusively on the field of History of Physics. He has been Initiator and Lecturer in charge of this discipline since its creation in 1992, until his retirement in 2009.
As for his research activity, his initial publications were in the fields of classical mechanics, statistical mechanics, and quantum theory. He has published numerous papers in these fields, and he is the author of books such as Einstein, profeta y hereje (2009, second edition) and El desconocido Einstein (2020), both published by Tusquets Ed. in Spanish.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
路易斯·納瓦羅·維古利亞斯（Luis Navarro Veguillas，馬德里，1939年）於1965年在巴塞隆納大學獲得物理科學博士學位，並在該校發展了他的學術生涯。自2009年以來，他一直擔任巴塞隆納大學的名譽教授。
他的教學主要涉及古典力學、量子力學和統計力學。自1990年以來，他的興趣專注於物理歷史領域。自1992年該學科創立以來，他一直是該學科的發起人和講師，直到2009年退休。
至於他的研究活動，他最初的出版物集中在古典力學、統計力學和量子理論領域。他在這些領域發表了大量論文，並著有多本書籍，如《愛因斯坦，先知與異端》（Einstein, profeta y hereje，2009年，第二版）和《未知的愛因斯坦》（El desconocido Einstein，2020年），這兩本書均由Tusquets Ed.以西班牙文出版。
