Hi NG
I'm actually not really certain, but found an error in Einstein's 'On the electrodynamics of moving bodies' which is quite serious.
See page six, roughly in the middle:
There we find an equation, which says this:
âÏ/ây= 0
Do you mean on page 899 (9th page of the article) in §3?
The operation is not division but a partial derivative.

Of course you are, as you always do, but why? You can read German. Referring to an English translation as "Einstein's 'On the electrodynamics of moving bodies'" is little short of a lie.
