The Globalization of Knowledge in History
TL;DR: Second-order knowledge as mentioned in this paper is the origin of self-organizing, self-promoting qualities of knowledge, and it is the reflexivity of knowledge that accounts for its selforganizing and self-defining qualities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Belated Decision in the Hilbert-Einstein Priority Dispute
TL;DR: A close analysis of archival material reveals that Hilbert did not anticipate Einstein this article, and the first set of proofs of Hilbert's paper shows that the theory he originally submitted is not generally covariant and does not include the explicit form of the field equations of general relativity.

The expanding worlds of general relativity
TL;DR: In the early 20th century, Minkowski, Mathematicians and the Mathematical Theory of Relativity (MTL) were involved in the search for Gravitational Absorption in the early Twentieth Century.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of gravitational lensing: a postscript to Einstein's 1936 Science paper.
TL;DR: Reconstruction of some of Einstein's research notes dating back to 1912 reveals that he explored the possibility of gravitational lensing 3 years before completing his general theory of relativity.
