This article is for subscribers only.
Albert Einstein’s postcard to his sick mother joyfully reporting proof of the bending of light and a letter suggesting a solution to the Jewish-Arab conflict have been put online.
The Internet archive of what will be more than 80,000 documents also includes a former mistress’s request to Einstein, one of the 20th century’s greatest scientists. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is working on the plan with Princeton University Press and the Einstein Papers Project at the California Institute of Technology.
