AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding online sources for public domain papers by notable scientists such as Einstein, Lorentz, and Planck. It highlights that while Web of Science may list relevant papers, access to them may vary. Users are encouraged to utilize resources like Bartleby and Project Gutenberg for free texts, including Einstein's book "Relativity" and his paper on gravitation. Additionally, the forum suggests exploring educational sections for translated works, specifically mentioning a collection of Euler's papers available in LaTeX format.

Looking for an online source for papers of Einstein, Lorentz, Planck etc. -old enough to be public domain and free
 
Physics news on Phys.org
web of science may have listed them, they link to loads of different journals etc.. wether they are free i don't know. You could always find the ones you want and then maybe request them from a university or something?
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
