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.

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
