      ​@@tibees I guess what I like about this episode is that we are examining, together, a document of small renown but great interest. We get to see Einstein before the miracle year. He is hoping, with an imperfect thesis, to attain the credential of PhD. Einstein is looking up to those with prestige to grant him a certificate. This is the opposite of our usual view of Einstein, as a lofty figure far above ourselves, possibly above anyone else on Earth. The usual Einstein we learn about can ignore objections all day long and no one will think the worse of him. But this Einstein -- the one you have summoned -- must humbly wait for praise or blame. For that reason I feel as though we are standing next to him in your story about his thesis.

    Toby, thanks for the amazing video! I really got curious about that PhD attempt in 1901 because I'm a big fan of Boltzmann and statistical mechanics. It's weird that Einstein did so much work in statistical interpretation and in that time there were so many critics about the theory of atom (Gibbs had to talk about ensembles to not be criticized) that probably there were a few problems going this way. I wonder if this topic (History of statistical mechanics and kinetic theory of gases) may be a topic for new videos!

    Oh man at about 4:00 this is making so much sense all of a sudden! In the pharmaceutical industry we use 0.22 micron sterile filters for filtering solution to be filled into vials. We use what is called a bubble point test to verify that the filters are the correct filters with the right size pores by measuring the pore size. To do this we put pressure against the solution in the filter membrane until it diffuses through to the other side. The pressure at which the diffusion happens is recorded verifying the integrity of the filter and confirming that the membranes have the correct size pores.

    Hey, I have never seen Einstein’s PhD thesis before... Thanks for showing me specifically what is it about. BTW I subscribed your channel recently because of youtube algorithms. I genuinely feel your love toward physics. I’ll look forward to watching your new videos :)😘 from South Korea

    That error in the thesis sneaked across 2 highly skilled mathematicians (Burkhardt & Einstein) before it got trapped by a third (Hopf was prof for math and mechanics in Aachen). Einstein himself didn't find it and asked Hopf to look at it with a unbiased mind. Too bad Hopf's answer hasn't survived nor Einstein's "Thank you, how could I be so blind."- letter.

    What a co incidence it was the last day that our school physics committee was thinking about you to revies Einstiens thesis, and the same u did..
    Thank you
    And lots of love and support from India

    Einsteins dissertation from 1901 has not survived, and it is not really clear what it contained -Norbert Straumann Institute for Theoretical Physics University of Zurich,CH-8057 Zurich, Switzerland February 2, 2008. Need to ask a colleague studying at ETH if something was found by now.

    I was reading through the letters of Einstein. Looks like Einstein never actually had taken the comprehensive exam and oral dissertation. He was able to get an exemption , as he became quite popular with his 4 papers during 1905. However, he enclosed the thesis document to the academic committee and that was accepted.

    I'm confused. In the letter to Besso from 1903 at 16:00 Einstein refers to "joining the ranks of the Privatdozenten" i.e. the nonsalaried assistant professors who were the lowest in the German academic hierarchy. But I thought one had to complete one's doctorate AND one's "habilitationschrift" (i.e. a sort of second thesis that entitled one to be called "professor") before one could be a Privatdozent! Also like you I'm curious about his 1901. I suspect he didn't really submit a thesis but instead submitted a proposal which his advisor probably felt would not ultimately be approved. Doctorates in Germany take between 2 and 5 years to complete with the average being 3

    Although Einstein’s initial application for a doctorate at the University of Bern (he had previously been awarded a PhD by the University of Zürich in 1905) was indeed rejected as insufficient in 1907, and it was not until the following year that he completed a new dissertation that resulted in his being awarded a doctorate by the University of Bern and given a position as a lecturer at that school.

    I really enjoyed this - I think everyone loves Einstein more than they do other scientists because his early struggles are so well known & give heart to all of us!

    I finally realized why I was pushed out and away from the educational system. I would have written the paper proving all this wrong. Here I am at 58 years old and looking at this and yep it is right in front of my eyes. Thanks for the epiphany.

    It's hard to think of a topic that's more different from relativity than molecules dissolving in solution. Really amazing how many topics Einstein excelled at. Did you know he invented a refrigerator (with L. Szilard) ?
