1925年,爱因斯坦在阿根廷为他的相对论课程做的未发表的开幕演讲。

Einstein's unpublished opening lecture for his course on relativity theory in Argentina, 1925

Alejandro Gangui, Eduardo L. Ortiz

摘要:

1922年,布宜诺斯艾利斯大学理事会批准了一项动议,邀请阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦访问阿根廷,并就他的相对论进行讲座。该动议由曾在苏黎世Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule(ETH)接受教育的Jorge Duclout(1856-1927)提出。这一提议是对相对论感兴趣的阿根廷知识分子的一系列倡议的高潮。在很短的时间内,毛里西奥·尼伦施泰因博士(1877-1935),当时的大学行政秘书,满足了大学邀请书的所有要求,并被认可并交付给柏林的圣人。这次访问发生在三年后,1925年3月至4月。阿根廷媒体以极大的兴趣和敬意接待了爱因斯坦;他早期的交流涉及广泛的话题,包括国际政治和犹太事务。自然,记者们更渴望听到这位杰出的和平主义者的声音,而不是这位令人费解的物理学家的声音。然而,在他最初对媒体开放之后,情况发生了变化,爱因斯坦将他的公开演讲限制在理论物理学的主题上,避免了他在早期采访中自由触及的一些有争议的政治,宗教或哲学问题。[abridged].

英文摘要:

In 1922 the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) Council approved a motion to send an invitation to Albert Einstein to visit Argentina and give a course of lectures on his theory of relativity. The motion was proposed by Jorge Duclout (1856-1927), who had been educated at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule, Zurich (ETH). This proposal was the culmination of a series of initiatives of various Argentine intellectuals interested in the theory of relativity. In a very short time Dr. Mauricio Nirenstein (1877-1935), then the university's administrative secretary, fulfilled all the requirements for the university's invitation to be endorsed and delivered to the sage in Berlin. The visit took place three years later, in March-April 1925. The Argentine press received Einstein with great interest and respect; his early exchanges covered a wide range of topics, including international politics and Jewish matters. Naturally, the journalists were more eager to hear from the eminent pacifist than from the incomprehensible physicist. However, after his initial openness with the press, the situation changed and Einstein restricted his public discourse to topics on theoretical physics, avoiding some controversial political, religious, or philosophical matters that he had freely touched upon in earlier interviews..
