EINSTEIN ALBERT (1879-1955).
Signed autograph letter, signed initials « A.E. », [28 May 1950], to Ernst Gabor STRAUS| 3 pages in-4 format| in German.
Lengthy scientific letter with formulae, calculations and a chart pertaining to the question of compatibility in the theory of relativity
Einstein states the difficulty in their crossed correspondence, since one is already not the same person who wrote initially when one receives the response. He considers correct Straus’s derivation of the four combinations of linear equations, which he develops in detail. He refers to the calculations of Bergmann who was familiar with the way in which these four combinations stem from the Bianchi identities.
