Original Einstein Manuscript Discovered

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the not-so-theoretical-manuscript dept.

vinlud writes "The original manuscript of a paper Albert Einstein published in 1925 has been found in the archives of Leiden University's Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics. The German-language manuscript is titled "Quantum theory of the monatomic ideal gas," and is dated December 1924. It is considered one of Einstein's last great breakthroughs. High-resolution photographs of the 16-page manuscript are posted on the institute's web site."

    I saw a trailer for it the other day. Has one body seem the movie? No doubt Holywood will get the math wrong.
