- Yes what about Podolsky and Rosen? What about Leopold Infeld? I have read
- both these papers so I am certain that they were co-authors of Einstein.
- Also I am very surprised to see that Lorentz and Minkowski are listed as
- co-authors of Einstein. Is it possible that this is an error stemming from
- the fact that there is a collection of early papers on relativity that
- includes papers by Einstein, Lorentz and Minkowski (all solo authored).
- I have this book and noticed that the authors are listed as Einstein,
- Lorentz, Minkowski,... I am also curious about papers that he may have
- written with Weyl since I have another collection of papers that includes
- solo authored papers by Einstein and by Weyl. Of course I am not saying that
- Einstein did not write papers with all these people only that it is
- surprising especially since he said once how much he disliked Minkowski's
- work!
