Abstract
Abstract:Book launch: The Eötvös experiment in its historical framework
Sólyom J., Dávid G.
Loránd Eötvös' most famous work was written in German and submitted to the Beneke competition of the University of Göttingen under the motto „Ars longa, vita brevis”. It received the Beneke prize in 1909 but was only published in 1922 by his co-workers Dezső Pekár and Jenő Fekete with the title „Beiträge zum Gesetze der Proportionalität von Trägheit und Gravität”. Its hand-written draft was thought lost for a long time. In 2015, it was listed on the Memory of the World International Register of the UNESCO. The paper, completed with Eötvös’ original text, missing from the 1922 publication, has now been published in a historical framework, both in English and Hungarian. The volume includes the copy and transcript of the handwritten draft of Eötvös, his first 1890 publication on the subject, and the official evaluation of the Beneke committee. Finally, it includes the correspondence between Eötvös and Einstein.
