Cat brain is too small to process this manuscript… I’m afraid I have to get through it on my own.

The 5th iteration in 1927 was arguably the most important one. Heisenberg: „Through the possibility of exchange between the representatives of different lines of research, this conference has contributed extraordinarily to the clarification of the physical foundations of the quantum theory." (5/5)

Nernst, the mastermind behind the conference, sensed a chance for a generously funded meeting & assured Solvay that his ideas would be duly discussed. Luckily, Solvay seems to have accepted that he’s very much out of his depth, but he still continued to fund these vastly influential meetings. (4/5)

TIL that Solvay (a rich industrial chemist) started this extremely influential series of meetings mainly to push his own outlandish pet theory on gravitation and matter "which he propagated with the insouciance of a dilettante" (Fölsing) (3/5)

Einstein was only 32 years old when he attended the first Solvay conference (1911), meeting already-famous physicists/chemists like Marie Curie, Walther Nernst, Hendrik Lorentz, or Max Planck for the first time. See alt text for names! (2/5)

Really enjoying this (bit dated) Einstein biography from Albrecht Fölsing with fun bits on his struggles with early 20th century academia, and how he interacted with other great physicists. There’s an English translation, too - check it out! Fun read, not just for Barbenheimer fans (1/5) 🧪
