AI notes: On January 3, 1931, Albert Einstein found himself in a sun‑lit bungalow at 707 South Oakland Avenue in California Institute of Technology‑neighboring Pasadena, embarking on his first of three winter‑term visits to Caltech. During that stay he engaged in intense discussions with astronomers at the nearby Mount Wilson Observatory about the implications of the expanding universe, a subject that had forced him to reconsider his earlier static‑universe assumption. Simultaneously, he relished the steady California climate and friendly social milieu, writing that “Here in Pasadena, it is like Paradise,” and combining his academic work with musical evenings and community mingling. Although January 3 doesn’t bear a known public lecture or major event in the archives, it marks a quiet transition from ocean voyage to immersion in one of the most congenial stages of his scientific and personal life.
