The Born-Einstein letters
Book • 1968
This book comprises a 40-year correspondence between Albert Einstein and Max Born, along with contributions from Born's wife Hedwig.
The letters span two world wars and cover a wide range of topics including debates on quantum mechanics, personal reflections on their families and lives, and discussions about the tumultuous political climate of their time.
Despite their scientific disagreements, particularly on the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the letters highlight the enduring friendship and mutual respect between Einstein and the Borns.
The correspondence also touches on their shared love of music, their efforts to help refugee scientists, and their differing views on Germany during and after World War II.
