Abstract
Adiabatical Invariance made its first appearance in Physics in the Solvay Meeting of 1911 (Réunions Solvay1), when the President — who was Henrik Anton Lorentz himself — asked to the attendants what would become the oscillations of a classical pendulum if one undertakes to shorten its length very slowly. The answer to that question was immediately given by Einstein: under such conditions the quotient between the total energy E and the frequency v should remain the same.
