Original Einstein manuscript from 1924 surfaces: "Quantentheorie des einatomigen idealen Gases -- Zweite Abhandlung", and more on the US PhD |
Here is a link with a picture of the work:

It is this that later (1999) did lead to demonstration
the 'Bose Einstein condensate'.

'This was Einstein's last 'discovery' (well Bose's actually).

So how many US citizens with a PhD infection can actually READ German?
here, to be even admitted to a university you will likely speak:
Dutch, German, English, French, and that includes being able to read and
write technical publication in those languages. So given that fact, and the
fact that ALL other PhD in the world can read English, maybe the rumor that
you only need to be able to play baseball and that entered in the statistics
will show how BAD it is with US science.
How ELSE can they start on creationism?

When I earned my Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1961 from Indiana
University, part of the requirements was to pass reading exams in both
German and French. If you couldn't cut either or both of these, bye-bye
baby. At that time most, if not all American university graduate schools had
at least the German requirement for a scientific Ph.D. I did my
undergraduate major in chemistry at the U. of Illinois from 1948-1952, and
one of the absolute requirements for the B.S. in chemistry curriculum at U
of I was successful completion of 4 semesters of German. (My own ability in
German was enhanced by living in Germany for 3 years, 1953-1956, and
marrying a German woman.) So the German Ph.D. requirement was a breeze for
me at Indiana U, and I met the French requirement by completing 2 semesters
of the language for reading knowledge and earning grades of B and A.
However, I readily concede that we have gone downhill since then. My own
academic career was at Kansas State U. chemistry dept. from 1962 to
retirement in 1996. During that time I watched helplessly as the language
requirments for the Ph.D were gradually eroded away from German and French,
to just German, then finally to none. Originally we required at least 2
semesters of German for undergraduate chemistry majors, but that too was
done away with. The irony of it all was that my fellow professors frequently
came to me to help translate German articles, or they sent their students to
me for the same purpose. I eventually became fed up with this, and simply
put out the word that since in their wisdom they had decided that German was
not necessary for technical studies, they were going to have to live with
that decision and not take up my time! You can't imagine the astonishment
and unbelieving responses this got! So I know from experience the point you
are making, and it is well made indeed.
