There are very few publications devoted to Einstein's work outside of relativity. This book aims to fill the gap by exploring the scope of Einstein's contributions on topics including molecular forces, thermostatistics, the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, molecular currents, critical opalescence, energy quanta, dual structure of radiation, introduction of the photon, and the formulation of the first quantum statistics. The book pays special attention to Einstein's scepticism toward certain ideas that came to light alongside Schrödinger's first formulation of wave mechanics in 1926, also addressing his doubts regarding the probabilistic interpretation of the quantum formalism, an issue closely connected with the hidden variable theories and their implications. The author discusses the early hidden variable theories, whose appearance was largely a result of Einstein's criticism of the orthodox interpretation of quantum formalism. Finally, in an appendix, the author explores the controversy about the possible contribution that Mileva Mari?, Albert Einstein's first wife, may have made to some of her husband's main scientific achievements. 410 0$aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 606 $aPhysicists$xBiography 606 $aAstronomers$xBiography 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aScience 606 $aBiographies of Physicists and Astronomers 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aFoundations of Physics and Cosmology 615 0$aPhysicists$xBiography. 615 0$aAstronomers$xBiography. 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aScience. 615 14$aBiographies of Physicists and Astronomers. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aFoundations of Physics and Cosmology. 676 $a530 700 $aNavarro Veguillas$b Luis$f1939-$01433630 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910751391003321 996 $aThe Lesser-Known Albert Einstein$93582510 997 $aUNINA
