Einstein's PhD Thesis discussed

[Robertinfremont]

Also in Academia is the discussion of Einstein's grades. Many read this discussion yet 0 discussed it.

Still reading it is appreciated by me.

Einstein also had his first thesis paper rejected. He submitted his next paper on the size of molecules. A former PhD Student from Australia found his Thesis paper in original German and also there is the translation.

She points out his paper has errors that later were calculated by others to show the errors yet his paper was accepted at the time.

This video lasts about 18 minutes. If you watch it, watch it several times if you do not get it. Anyway this paper is valuable to study how Einstein worked.

I hope you enjoy it and of course feel free do discuss his work.

Not a single person here can truly understand Einstein’s genius , the smartest man that ever lived

I'd say one of the smartest men. The developers of quantum matrix mechanics and wave mechanics in the 1920's were also extremely brilliant.

Einstein had a difficult time ... accepting some of the precepts of quantum physics.

You mean the German geniuses of that era like Max plank and the famous Heisenburg among many others

French had some great ones too with Louis PAsteur the father of Micro Biology and Vaccinations

Paul Dirac from England was a great quantum mechanics physicist.

Einstein said of him, " I simply can't understand what he is talking about. Dirac came up with profound new things.

This from Wikipedia.

Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac OM FRS[9] (/dɪˈræk/; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who is regarded as one of the most significant physicists of the 20th century.[10]

Dirac made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter. Dirac shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Erwin Schrödinger "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory".[11] He also made significant contributions to the reconciliation of general relativity with quantum mechanics.

Dirac was regarded by his friends and colleagues as unusual in character. In a 1926 letter to Paul Ehrenfest, Albert Einstein wrote of Dirac, "I have trouble with Dirac. This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful." In another letter he wrote, "I don't understand Dirac at all (Compton effect)."[12]:82

He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a member of the Center for Theoretical Studies, University of Miami, and spent the last decade of his life at Florida State University.

Probably you say that based on his theories of warped space and time along with his theories on relativity. Other awesome physicists did puzzle Einstein. I understand his Genius and the man was super intelligent. He was still alive when I was a teen. Tesla was easily his equal.
