|
|||
|
Highly
|
|||
|
esteemed
|
|||
|
Mrs.
|
|||
|
Curie,[1]
|
|||
|
Do not
|
|||
|
laugh
|
|||
|
at
|
|||
|
me
|
|||
|
for
|
|||
|
writing you
|
|||
|
without
|
|||
|
having
|
|||
|
anything
|
|||
|
sensible
|
|||
|
to
|
|||
|
say.
|
|||
|
But
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
am so
|
|||
|
enraged by
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
base
|
|||
|
manner
|
|||
|
in which
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
public is
|
|||
|
presently
|
|||
|
daring to
|
|||
|
concern
|
|||
|
itself with
|
|||
|
you[2]
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
absolutely
|
|||
|
must
|
|||
|
give
|
|||
|
vent to
|
|||
|
this
|
|||
|
feeling. However,
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
am
|
|||
|
convinced
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
you consistently despise
|
|||
|
this
|
|||
|
rabble,
|
|||
|
whether it
|
|||
|
obsequiously
|
|||
|
lavishes
|
|||
|
respect
|
|||
|
on
|
|||
|
you
|
|||
|
or
|
|||
|
whether it
|
|||
|
attempts to
|
|||
|
satiate
|
|||
|
its
|
|||
|
lust
|
|||
|
for sensationalism!
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
am
|
|||
|
impelled
|
|||
|
to
|
|||
|
tell
|
|||
|
you
|
|||
|
how
|
|||
|
much I have
|
|||
|
come
|
|||
|
to admire
|
|||
|
your intellect, your
|
|||
|
drive,
|
|||
|
and
|
|||
|
your honesty,
|
|||
|
and
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
consider
|
|||
|
myself lucky
|
|||
|
to have
|
|||
|
made
|
|||
|
your
|
|||
|
personal acquaintance
|
|||
|
in Brussels.
|
|||
|
Anyone
|
|||
|
who does not number
|
|||
|
among
|
|||
|
these
|
|||
|
reptiles
|
|||
|
is certainly
|
|||
|
happy,
|
|||
|
now as
|
|||
|
before,
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
we
|
|||
|
have such
|
|||
|
personages among
|
|||
|
us
|
|||
|
as you,
|
|||
|
and
|
|||
|
Langevin[3]
|
|||
|
too,
|
|||
|
real
|
|||
|
people
|
|||
|
with whom
|
|||
|
one
|
|||
|
feels
|
|||
|
privileged
|
|||
|
to be in
|
|||
|
contact. If
|
|||
|
the rabble
|
|||
|
continues to
|
|||
|
occupy
|
|||
|
itself with
|
|||
|
you,
|
|||
|
then
|
|||
|
simply
|
|||
|
don't
|
|||
|
read
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
hogwash,
|
|||
|
but rather
|
|||
|
leave
|
|||
|
it
|
|||
|
to
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
reptile
|
|||
|
for whom it has been
|
|||
|
fabricated.
|
|||
|
With
|
|||
|
most
|
|||
|
amicable
|
|||
|
regards
|
|||
|
to
|
|||
|
you, Langevin,
|
|||
|
and
|
|||
|
Perrin,[4]
|
|||
|
yours very truly,
|
|||
|
A.
|
|||
|
Einstein
|
|||
|
P.S. I have
|
|||
|
determined the statistical
|
|||
|
law of
|
|||
|
motion
|
|||
|
of
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
diatomic
|
|||
|
molecule
|
|||
|
in Planck's
|
|||
|
radiation
|
|||
|
field
|
|||
|
by
|
|||
|
means
|
|||
|
of
|
|||
|
a
|
|||
|
comical
|
|||
|
witticism,
|
|||
|
naturally
|
|||
|
under the
|
|||
|
constraint
|
|||
|
that the structure's motion
|
|||
|
follows
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
laws of
|
|||
|
standard
|
|||
|
mechanics.
|
|||
|
My hope
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
this
|
|||
|
law is
|
|||
|
valid in
|
|||
|
reality
|
|||
|
is
|
|||
|
very
|
|||
|
small,
|
|||
|
though.[5]

Esteemed
|
|||
|
Professor
|
|||
|
Einstein,
|
|||
|
With
|
|||
|
these lines
|
|||
|
I just
|
|||
|
want to
|
|||
|
express my joy
|
|||
|
at
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
prospect
|
|||
|
of
|
|||
|
arriving
|
|||
|
at
|
|||
|
agreement
|
|||
|
in
|
|||
|
an
|
|||
|
oral
|
|||
|
discussion,
|
|||
|
at
|
|||
|
which
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
presence
|
|||
|
of
|
|||
|
our
|
|||
|
colleague
|
|||
|
Planck[3]
|
|||
|
is naturally
|
|||
|
not
|
|||
|
only extremely
|
|||
|
welcome
|
|||
|
but could make mine almost
|
|||
|
superfluous.
|
|||
|
Nor do
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
want
|
|||
|
to address
|
|||
|
today
|
|||
|
your
|
|||
|
view
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
publications
|
|||
|
could do
|
|||
|
no
|
|||
|
harm
|
|||
|
because
|
|||
|
one
|
|||
|
does not have to read
|
|||
|
them[4]-I
|
|||
|
do
|
|||
|
think, though,
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
such
|
|||
|
an
|
|||
|
attitude,
|
|||
|
if it
|
|||
|
were
|
|||
|
prevalent,
|
|||
|
would
|
|||
|
hamper
|
|||
|
the
|
|||
|
steady
|
|||
|
development
|
|||
|
of physics–
|
|||
|
rather,
|
|||
|
only
|
|||
|
to
|
|||
|
express again my delight
|
|||
|
that
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
can
|
|||
|
welcome
|
|||
|
you
|
|||
|
here
|
|||
|
soon.
|
|||
|
I
|
|||
|
shall
