Research -- "Ziemlich Frech : Einstein versus Nernst"

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty of finding reliable information for an essay titled "Ziemlich Frech: Einstein versus Nernst." The author suspects the topic may relate to Einstein Solids and Nernst's interest in Einstein's work on specific heat capacity. There is also consideration of the Nernst-Einstein relation concerning diffusivity. The author expresses frustration over varying translations of "Ziemlich Frech," which do not seem to connect to thermodynamics. A suggestion is made to consult Abraham Pais's book for more insights into Einstein's life and science.

I am writing an essay on "Ziemlich Frech : Einstein versus Nernst".
I can find very little information on this topic anywhere. I've searched the library and the internet and don't have anything certain yet.
So far I'm at a stage where I believe it could be about Einstein Solids. I know that Nernst was very interested on Einstein's paper on specific heat capacity.
Also I realize it could be something to do with the Nernst-Einstein relation to do with diffusivity. I'm really struggling to find something that makes me certain of what it is. Especially when I am getting different translations for "Ziemlich Frech", none of which seem related to Thermodynamics which I feel is what it should be related to.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Let the library find you a copy of Abraham Pais: Subtle is the lord. The science and the life of Albert Einstein. Oxford University Press.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
