Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF SIGNIFICANT CORRECTIONS & ADDITIONS BY EINSTEIN & STRAUS TO AN IMPORTANT PAPER; AS WELL, A PAPER BY CHANDRASEKHAR ON THE ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM. In 1945 Albert Einstein and Ernst G. Straus introduced their Swiss cheese model of the universe in a paper entitled "The Influence of… the Expansion of Space on the Gravitation Fields Surrounding the Individual Stars". (Weil 216). The following year they published "Corrections and Additional Remarks to Our Paper" (the 1945 paper), the paper offered here. In early 1945, Einstein returned to long held cosmological questions as he sought to try to understand whether the expansion of the universe caused the solar system to expand as well - or more specifically, the influence of the expansion of space on the gravitational field in the neighborhood of a star. Working with Straus, the two began studying the effect of inhomogeneities in an expanding model. "By the spring of 1945, Einstein and Straus had found a new type of possible universe using Einstein's equations. It described a universe which looked largely like one of the simple expanding universes of Friedmann and Lemaître containing material (like galaxies) which exerted no pressure. But it has spherical regions removed from it, like bubbles in a Swiss cheese. Each empty hole then had a mass placed at its centre. The mass was equal in magnitude to what had been excavated to create the hole. This was a step towards a more realistic universe in which the matter was not smoothly spread with the same density everywhere but gathered up into lumps, like galaxies, which were spread about in empty space. (Barrow, The Book of Universes, 106-107). ALSO INCLUDED: S. Chandrasekhar's "On a New Theory of Weizsäcker on the Origin of the Solar System". In 1945, C. F. v. Weizsäcker proposed a new theory of the origin of the solar system which appeared to merit consideration. Weizsäcker argued "that there [would be] turbulence in the solar nebula which would give rise to the formation of eddies having angular motion opposite to that of the rotation of the nebula" (Abhyankar, The Origin, BASI, 26, 339). Weizsäcker's "principal idea [was] to regard the formation of a planetary system around a star as a possible last stage in the formation of the star itself" (Chandrasekhar, 1946, 94). He believed that "the protoplanets were supposed to have formed at the sites of the ball bearing eddies and the merger of the protoplanets in the same orbit produced the known planets" (Abhyankar, 343). In the paper offered here, the Indian American astrophysicist S. Chandrasekhar challenged Weizsäcker's theory and showed "that there will be a wide spectrum of turbulence with smaller eddies within the larger ones and there would be no regular pattern as suggested by Weizsäcker. Further the life time of the eddies will be too short for the formation of the planets" (ibid). In other words, Chandrasekhar's work "indicated that the regular pattern of vortices originally postulated by Weizsäcker could not occur, but instead must be replaced by a range of eddy sizes" (Brush, A History of Modern Planetary Physics, 14). Chandrasekhar's work led to the abandonment of Weizsäcker's theories. INCLUDED: Nobel Prize winner Percy Williams Bridgman's "Recent Work in the Field of High Pressures," pp. 1-94 (an important review of work done in the field of high pressure physics between Bridgman's seminal 1930 work and 1946, the year he won the prize) and R. Samuel's "The Dissociation Spectra of Covalent Polyatomic Molecules", pp. 103-148. CONDITION & DETAILS: Lancaster: American Physical Society. Complete issue in original wraps. 4to. (10.5 x 8 inches; 263 x 200mm). Very slight wear at the edges of the wraps and head and foot of the spine; small closed tear (see images). Bright and clean throughout. Very good condition.

Add to basketFirst edition. EINSTEIN'S 'SWISS-CHEESE' MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE - OFFPRINT ISSUE. First edition, extremely rare offprints, of Einstein & Straus's introduction of the 'Swiss-cheese' model of the universe. "After [a] decade and a half of sometimes intense work on cosmology, Einstein returned to the subject only occasionally in his…later years. His most significant later contribution was a discussion of the impact of cosmological expansion on the gravitational field surrounding a star [i.e., the offered papers] . This was an important first step in understanding the impact of global cosmological expansion on local physics" (Janssen & Lehner, pp. 257-8). In the 1920s and 1930s a general relativistic model of the universe was developed, called the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model, which correctly described the expansion of the universe, discovered by Edwin Hubble. But the FLRW model was 'homogeneous' - it described a universe which looks the same wherever the observer is located. The actual universe, however, is manifestly inhomogeneous - it contains stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. Einstein and Straus's papers represent the first serious attempt to model an inhomogeneous universe. "By the spring of 1945, Einstein and Straus had found a new type of possible universe using Einstein's equations. It described a universe which looked largely like one of the simple expanding universes of Friedmann and Lemaître containing material (like galaxies) which exerted no pressure. But it had spherical regions removed from it, like bubbles in a Swiss cheese. Each empty hole then had a mass placed at its centre. The mass was equal in magnitude to what had been excavated to create the hole. This was a step towards a more realistic universe in which the matter was not smoothly spread with the same density everywhere but gathered up into lumps, like galaxies, which were spread about in empty space" (Barrow, pp. 106-107). Not on OCLC; no copies in auction records. In 1916, just a few months after Einstein had formulated his general theory of relativity, Karl Schwarzschild had found a solution of Einstein's equations which described the gravitational field in the vicinity of a spherical distribution of mass, such as a star (or, to anticipate later developments, a black hole). This was, in fact, the first exact solution of Einstein's equations to be found - Einstein had earlier calculated an approximate solution which was enough to show that his theory correctly accounted for the advance of Mercury's perihelion. However, at great distances from the star, Schwarzschild's solution approaches the flat Minkowski spacetime, with zero curvature, and not the FLRW solution that represented an expanding universe. It seemed, therefore, that Schwarzschild's solution could not correctly describe the gravitational field of a star in an expanding FLRW universe. If the expansion of the universe meant that Schwarzschild's solution had to be modified, this could make it possible to detect and measure the expansion of the universe by making local observations, rather than by observing the motion of distant galaxies, as Hubble had done. The problem of describing the gravitational field of a star in an expanding FLRW universe was addressed by Einstein and Straus in the offered papers. "In the early 1930s theorists began to develop a richer account of the evolution of the universe based on expanding models. Hubble's results qualitatively agreed with the redshift effect calculated in these models, but the utility of the simple dynamical models depends on whether the universe is approximately uniform. The status of this assumption was the focus of lively debate . Relativistic cosmologists regarded the idealized uniformity of the FLRW models as a simplifying assumption . The unrelenting uniformity built into the FLRW models conflicts with the clear non-uniformity of the stars, star clusters, and galaxies of the local universe, but the models might still serve as a us.
