Einstein's letters up for auction


Two letters written by Albert Einstein to his friend Michele Besso are to be auctioned by September 28 and the bidding starts at 60,000.

One letter outlines Einstein's early thoughts on a grand unified theory of physics. This was written in Berlin on September 5, 1929. The other letter is dated April 15, 1950 and in this epistle Einstein wonders what can be known and whether some physical theories can be proved definitely.
