that is transcribed in Doc. 56, note 9.
[p. 2]: Calculations on a loose sheet interleaved in the first notebook of Einstein’s “Lec-
ture Notes for Introductory Course on Mechanics at the University of Zurich, Winter Se-
mester 1909–1910” (Vol. 3, Doc. 1) [3 004].
[pp. 3–5]: Calculations on three consecutive pages in the second notebook of Einstein’s

in the universe. This assumption involves a departure from Newton’s law of gravitation, but no other
argument leads to a similar conclusion, and so this is not a satisfactory solution.
“By making slight modifications in his general theory of relativity which do not change any of the
other conclusions drawn from it, Professor Einstein shows that a uniform distribution of water [mat-
ter] in the universe is possible only in space of constant curvature.” New York Times, 14 May 1921, p.
10.
