   Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

   Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, Nathan Rosenⓘ

   Physical Review, 1935

   AbsDOIBibHTMLDetails

   

   In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other.

   Nobel Prize, 1921

   There exists a profound formal difference between the theoretical representations of gases and other ponderable bodies currently used by physicists on the one hand, and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic processes in so-called empty space on the other. Whereas we regard the state of a body as being completely determined by the positions and velocities of a quite finite number of atoms and electrons, we use for the determination of the electromagnetic state in space continuous spatial functions, so that a finite number of variables cannot be regarded as sufficient for the complete description of such a state.

   On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid, as Required by the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Heat

   Albert Einstein

   Annalen der Physik, 1905

   AbsDOIBibHTMLDetails

   In this paper it will be shown that, according to the molecular-kinetic theory of heat, bodies of microscopically visible size suspended in a liquid will perform movements of such magnitude that they can be easily observed with a microscope, on account of the molecular motions of heat.

   On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies

   Albert Einstein

   Annalen der Physik, 1905

   AbsDOIBibHTMLPDFDetails

   It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics — as usually understood at the present time — when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp distinction between the two cases in which either the one or the other of these bodies is in motion.

   Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?

   The results of the previous investigation lead to a very interesting conclusion, which is here to be deduced. The previous investigation was based on the Maxwell-Hertz equations for empty space, together with the Maxwellian expression for the electromagnetic energy of space...
