In summary, the conversation was about finding a link to Einstein's original papers translated into English, specifically his paper on the photoelectric effect. Several links were shared, including a starting point on Wikipedia and a comprehensive site on Albert Einstein. However, the conversation also mentioned the lack of a easily accessible comprehensive site. Additionally, a link to D. Hilbert's article of 1915 and a list of Einstein's scientific publications were also shared.
