First edition.
Louis de Broglie (1892-1987), Nobel laureate and a member of the Institute, played a crucial role in the development of quantum mechanics. In this work, he explores the theory of the magnetic electron proposed by Paul Dirac, one of the most important advances in 20th-century theoretical physics. Dirac's theory not only predicted the existence of antimatter but also integrated special relativity into quantum mechanics.

First french edition.
In his work L'Éther et la Théorie de la Relativité (Ether and the Theory of Relativity), Albert Einstein (1879-1955) addresses the concept of the ether, which dominated 19th-century physics, and explains how his theory of relativity replaced this notion. This book, based on a lecture delivered at Leiden University in 1920, is a key text for understanding the transition from classical to modern physics. The French translation by Maurice Solovine (1875-1958) enabled French-speaking scientists to grasp the implications of relativity.
