1. The set of mistakes discussed in this article is not intended to be exhaustive. They are a selection, mostly chosen because they seemed to me to reveal something of the intellectual environment in which Einstein worked. In Physics Today, March 2005, page 34, Alex Harvey and Engelbert Schucking have described an erroneous prediction of Einstein regarding the rates of clocks on Earth’s surface, and in his book Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, Addison-Wesley, Reading, PA (1981), p. 328, Arthur I. Miller has discussed an error in Einstein’s calculation of the electron’s transverse mass.
