Israel's Hebrew University put on display on Wednesday a collection of 110 manuscript pages written by Albert Einstein, many of which it said had never been shown in public before.

They include hand-written mathematical notes, most from 1944 to 1948, and also an appendix - which the university said had been thought lost - to a paper on unified field theory that the German-born physicist presented to the Prussian Academy of Science in 1930.

Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, a pillar of modern science, tried unsuccessfully for decades to prove another concept - that electromagnetism and gravity were different manifestations of a single fundamental field.

Hebrew University said it had received the papers as a donation to its 80,000-item Albert Einstein Archives from a foundation in Chicago after they were purchased from a private collector in North Carolina.

"These papers reflect the way Einstein was thinking, the way Einstein was working. Most of them, in his handwriting, are mathematical calculations with very little text," said Professor Hanoch Gutfreund, academic adviser to the archives.

"They are summaries of his notes; whenever something struck him, a new idea, he sat down immediately and scribbled it, looking for its consequences," Gutfreund told Reuters.

Einstein, who settled in the United States after renouncing his German citizenship when Adolf Hitler came to power, bequeathed his scientific and personal writings to Hebrew University.

Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics. He died in New Jersey in 1955.

"World's oldest man" Masazo Nonaka, who was born just two years after the Wright brothers launched humanity's first powered flight, died on Sunday aged 113, Japanese media said.

Nonaka was born in July 1905, according to Guinness World Records -- just months before Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity.

Guinness officially recognised Nonaka as the oldest living man after the death of Spaniard Francisco Nunez Olivera last year.

"We feel shocked at the loss of this big figure. He was, as usual, yesterday and passed away without causing our family any fuss at all," his granddaughter Yuko told Kyodo News.

Nonaka had six brothers and one sister, marrying in 1931 and fathering five children.

He ran a hot spring inn in his hometown and in retirement enjoyed watching sumo wrestling on TV and eating sweets, according to local media.

Japan has one of the world's highest life expectancies and was home to several people recognised as among the oldest humans to have ever lived.&nbsp;

They include Jiroemon Kimura, the longest-living man on record, who died soon after his 116th birthday in June 2013.

The oldest verified person ever -- Jeanne Louise Calment of France -- died in 1997 at the age of 122, according to Guinness.

A note that Albert Einstein gave to a courier in Tokyo briefly describing his theory on happy living sold at auction in Jerusalem on Tuesday for $1.56 million (1.33 million euros), the auction house said.

The winning bid for the note far exceeded the pre-auction estimate of between $5,000 and $8,000, according to the website of Winner&#39;s auction house.

&quot;It was an all-time record for an auction of a document in Israel,&quot; Winner&#39;s spokesman Meni Chadad said.

The buyer was a European who wished to remain anonymous, he said.

The note, on Imperial Hotel Tokyo stationery, says in German that &quot;a quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.&quot;

Bidding, in person, online and by phone, started at $2,000. A flurry of offers pushed the price rapidly up for about 20 minutes until the final two potential buyers bid against each other by phone.

Applause broke out in the room when the sale was announced.

&quot;I am really happy that there are people out there who are still interested in science and history and timeless deliveries in a world which are developing so fast,&quot; the seller said on condition of anonymity after the sale.

A second Einstein note written at the same time that simply reads &quot;where there&#39;s a will, there&#39;s a way&quot; sold for $240,000, Winner&#39;s said.

The German-born physicist, most famous for his theory of relativity, was on a lecture tour in Japan when he handwrote the autographed notes, previously unknown to researchers, in 1922.

He had recently been informed that he was to receive the Nobel Prize for physics, and his fame outside of scientific circles was growing.

A Japanese courier arrived at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo to deliver Einstein a message. The courier either refused to accept a tip, in line with local practice, or Einstein had no small change available.

Either way, Einstein didn&#39;t want the messenger to leave empty-handed, so he wrote him two notes by hand in German, according to the seller, a relative of the messenger.

&quot;Maybe if you&#39;re lucky those notes will become much more valuable than just a regular tip,&quot; Einstein told the messenger, according to the seller, a resident of the German city of Hamburg.

&#39;Stone in the mosaic&#39;

Two other letters Einstein wrote in later years were also auctioned on Tuesday, fetching prices of $33,600 and $9,600.

In June, letters were written by Einstein about God, Israel, and physics sold for nearly $210,000 at a Jerusalem auction.

Roni Grosz, the archivist in charge of the world&#39;s largest Einstein collection at Jerusalem&#39;s Hebrew University, said the notes shed light on the private thoughts of the great physicist, whose name has become synonymous with genius.

&quot;What we&#39;re doing here is painting the portrait of Einstein, the man, the scientist, his effect on the world through his writings,&quot; Grosz said.

&quot;This is a stone in the mosaic.&quot;

Einstein served as a non-resident governor of Jerusalem&#39;s Hebrew University. When he died in 1955, he left the institution his archives, making it the owner of the world&#39;s most extensive collection of his documents.

The Notes are given to courier by Albert Einstein were auctioned for $1.56 million.

Einstein note on modest living sells for $1.56 million

US astrophysicists Barry Barish, Kip Thorne and Rainer Weiss were awarded the Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday for the discovery of gravitational waves -- a phenomenon that opens a door on the extreme Universe.

Predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago as part of his theory of general relativity, but only detected in 2015, gravitational waves are &quot;ripples&quot; in space-time, as the theoretical fabric of the cosmos is called.

They are caused by ultra-violent processes, such as colliding black holes or the collapse of stellar cores.

&quot;Their discovery shook the world,&quot; said Goran K Hansson, the head of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences which selects the Nobel recipients.

They made their discovery in September 2015 and announced it in February 2016, a historic achievement that culminated from decades of scientific research.

And since then, they have clinched all the major astrophysics prizes to be had.

Thorne and Weiss co-created the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) at the prestigious California Institute of Technology, which has taken home 18 Nobels since the prizes were first awarded in 1901. Barish then brought the project to completion.

The first-ever direct observation of gravitational waves was the result of an event some 1.3 billion light-years away.

&quot;Although the signal was extremely weak when it reached Earth, it is already promising a revolution in astrophysics. Gravitational waves are an entirely new way of following the most violent events in space and testing the limits of our knowledge,&quot; the Academy said.

Cosmic chirp 
Since 2015, the enigmatic ripples have been detected three more times: twice more by LIGO and once by the Virgo detector located at the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) in Cascina, Italy.

&quot;Gravitational waves spread at the speed of light, filling the Universe, as Albert Einstein described in his general theory of relativity. They are always created when a mass accelerates, like when an ice-skater pirouettes or a pair of black holes rotate around each other,&quot; the Nobel jury explained.

&quot;Einstein was convinced it would never be possible to measure them. The LIGO project&#39;s achievement was using a pair of gigantic laser interferometers to measure a change thousands of times smaller than an atomic nucleus, as the gravitational wave passed the Earth.&quot;

Black holes emit no light and therefore can only be observed through the gravitational waves.

After two black holes collide, they leave behind a single rotating black hole with no traces visible of its dramatic inception.

&quot;Gravitational waves, which rythmically stretch and squeeze space, change tone as their message alters. If we could hear all the waves and not only the strongest ones, the entire universe would be full of music, like birds chirping in a forest, with a louder tone here and a quieter one there,&quot; the Academy said.

The prize comes with nine million Swedish kronor (around $1.1 million or 940,000 euros).

Last year, British scientists David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz were honoured for their groundbreaking research on topology, or unusual phases or states of matter, which may one day yield superfast computers.&nbsp;

The physics prize is the second of the 2017 Nobels awarded, after the medicine prize on Monday went to three American geneticists -- Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young -- for shedding light on the biological clock that governs the sleep-wake cycles of most living things.&nbsp;

The chemistry prize will be announced on Wednesday, the literature prize on Thursday and the peace prize on Friday. The economics prize will wrap things up on Monday, October 9.&nbsp;
