Exhibition of the theory of relativity

For the first time, the first original manuscript pages written by Albert Einstein on Relativity were displayed at the Jerusalem Academy of Humanities and Sciences, Israel.

In the dimly lit room in Jerusalem, for the first time visitors will admire the pages of Albert Einstein on relativity, the key to the secrets of the universe.

The 46-page exhibition of the famous scientist Einstein, marked the first time the entire original manuscript of "Theory of Relativity" was displayed in public.

A manuscript page is carefully preserved.

The exhibition, which opened on Sunday night, is part of the 50th anniversary of the Israeli Academy of Humanities and Sciences and coincides with Einstein's birthday, March 14.

Writing pages are kept in a rectangular room, located in glass boxes made of pine wood. In the exhibition, the light is reduced to protect the old paper.

Closed pages feature Einstein's handwriting and mathematical formulas. There are parts that are emphasized, others are crossed and rewritten. "Pages written like a work of art," said Hanoch Gutfreund, the curator of the show.

These pages were written by Einstein while in Berlin, in 1916. Later, they were donated to Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

"To preserve documents and prevent them from decaying, pages have been displayed in a particularly dark room, with proper humidity and temperature control , " said Timna Elper, room staff. Experiments on preservation and restoration of materials at the National Library of Israel said.

Managers only agreed to display manuscripts in three weeks. They were transported to display in an armored truck from the archives at the national library.

The staff is preparing an exhibition displaying the original manuscripts of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity at the Academy of Humanities and Sciences in Jerusalem, Israel.

The work on relativity has revolutionized science, opened up the understanding of humanity to the universe, strengthened discoveries with theories. For example, time flow is affected by gravity.

This theory has enabled practical applications for the development of space technology, including the ability to track the satellite's precise paths, or determine where we are (positioning technology). global GPS).

Einstein, born in 1879 and won the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics in Quantum theory, before fleeing to the Nazis and to the United States in the 1930s.
