    Historical Papers
AI Thread Summary
Several users are seeking websites that host historical physics papers, including works by Einstein and Planck. A bookstore was mentioned that features significant texts like Copernicus's and Newton's works, along with selections from Einstein's writings. A user suggested contacting ZapperZ for a link to an American Physical Society page that archives various important papers from the last century. Additional resources were shared, including links to specific Einstein texts hosted on Fourmilab and a Leiden University site dedicated to Einstein's history. These sources provide valuable access to foundational physics literature for those interested in exploring historical scientific documents.

I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but does anybody know of a website that has different historical papers from Physics history, i.e. Einstein's 1905 papers, Plank's Paper on Blackbody Radiation etc. (translated hopefully) I think I would enjoy the opportunity to look through some of those papers first hand.

Thanks for your help,

Physics news on Phys.org
I don't know of any websites but I noticed this in the book store the other day.



The book includes Copernicus's On the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres, Galileo's Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences, Kepler's "Harmony of the World," Newton's The Principia and selections from The Principle of Relativity by Einstein and with editorials by Stephen Hawking.
 
ZapperZ had once posted a link to an APS page that held a great collection of papers from the last century - including Einstein's, Schrodinger's, etc.

You could PM Zz and ask him to post that link in this thread too.
 
Maybe this also relevent?

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
