The present volume, set in the turbulent post-World War I period, finds Einstein awaiting news of the 1919 British eclipse expedition to test the general relativistic prediction of the deflection of starlight by the sun. With the expedition's success, he becomes the first science celebrity of our age. Deeply interested in the other, stellar redshift test of his theory, Einstein supports astronomers engaged in experimental work on the issue. Piqued by early suggestions of a unified field theory, he ponders how to unify gravitation and electromagnetic field theory and also works to resolve contradictions between the new quantum physics and ...

Reviews for The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 9: The Berlin Years: Correspondence, January 1919 - April 1920
"This centenary year brings another installment of Einstein's Collected Papers, in a revealing and meticulously annotated volume that contains correspondence from January 1919 to April 1920. It covers such diverse subjects as his divorce and remarriage, the death of his mother, his love if the Brothers Karamazov, and a violin."
