The Creation of the Idea of a Wormhole AND Bohr's Response to EPR EINSTEIN, Albert & ROSEN, Nathan. "The Particle Problem in the General Theory of Relativity," in "The Physical Review," Lancaster, PA & New York, NY, American Institute of Physics, Second Series, vol. 48, 998pp, with the Einstein/Rosen on pp 73-77, July 1, 1935. Cloth, ex-library, with a few minor library stamps on the interior, and the ghost of a small library label on the spine bottom. Very fresh and clean. VG copy (probably a little nicer than that). [++] "In the last decades of his life, Albert Einstein tried endlessly to unify electromagnetism with his own theory of gravity, general relativity. These efforts are mostly now regarded as quixotic, but a short proposal written in 1935 with a colleague has survived in unlikely fashion as the source of science-fiction ideas for speeding across the universe by means of wormholes through spacetime. From the modern perspective, the paper also illustrates how general relativity posed mathematical and conceptual difficulties that foxed even its creator."--"The Birth of Wormholes,"March 25, 2005, Physical Review Focus 15, 11 (free, online). [++] Also in this volume: Niels Bohr, "Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete? Bohr's response is to the famous paper by Einstein, A., B. Podolsky and N. Rosen, Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete? in the preceding volume of the Physical Review #47, pp. 777 80, appears in this volume (48) in 15 October 1935 issue. "In 1935, Niels Bohr responded to Albert Einstein's Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox with an analysis of quantum measurements from the perspective of complementarity. Bohr argued that EPR had made a faulty reasoning error, stating that measurements of momentum and position are complementary, and that choosing one excludes the possibility of measuring the other." -- Mara Beller & Arthur Fine, "Bohr's Response to EPR" in Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science vol 151.
