In a 1936 manuscript submitted to the Physical Review, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen famously claimed that gravitational waves do not exist. It has generally been assumed that there was a conceptual error underlying this fallacious claim. It will be shown, through a detailed study of the extant referee report, that this claim was probably only the result of a calculational error, the accidental use of a pathological coordinate transformation.

爱因斯坦的第二大错误：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和内森·罗森 1936 年引力波手稿中的错误

在 1936 年提交给《物理评论》的手稿中，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和内森·罗森著名地声称引力波不存在。人们普遍认为，这一错误主张背后存在概念错误。通过对现有裁判报告的详细研究将表明，这种说法可能只是计算错误的结果，即意外使用了病态坐标变换的结果。
