Celebrate
Einstein's Magical Year With Us!
As part of the international World Year of Physics 2005 celebration,
the University of Maryland Department of Physics commemorates the
100-year anniversary of Albert Einstein's “miraculous year.” In
1905, Einstein published three papers on his groundbreaking theories
of light quanta, Brownian motion and special relativity. These theories
changed the world of physics forever, opening the door to myriad
exciting ideas that physicists continue to explore today. With events
designed for a variety of audiences, we're honoring these extraordinary
scientific contributions.
Below you'll find a list of
scheduled events. Please be sure to check back with us frequently,
as we'll be adding events to the schedule throughout the year.
