Jerusalem – As part of its Jubilee celebrations, the Israel Academy
of Sciences and Humanities in Jerusalem will display, for the first
time ever, the complete original manuscripts of Albert Einsteins
historic General Theory of Relativity.

The exhibition, which will run from March 7-25, 2010, will offer a
unique glimpse of the 46-page original manuscript of the magnum opus
of Albert Einstein: the Foundation of the General Theory of
Relativity. The manuscript, written in Berlin in 1916, was donated by
Albert Einstein to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on the occasion
of its inauguration in 1925.

The original manuscript of the general theory of relativity represents
the most important revolution in the understanding of the universe in
modern times a revolution in the way we perceive space, time and
gravity. The general theory of relativity brought about new insights
on the structure of the universe and its development and predicted the
existence of the black holes.

The exhibition, courtesy of by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
will display the original manuscripts in one hall, with enlarged and
illuminated copies, with explanations in Hebrew and English, in
another hall.

Visits to the exhibition, which include a one hour guided tour, should
be arranged in advance at 972 2-5676222.
