The World Year of Physics 2005 (WYP2005) has been designated by United Nations as an international year of celebration of physics. There will be many events throughout the year around the world highlighting the importance, vitality and fun of physics as well as its importance in the coming millennium.
The WYP2005 will also commemorate the pioneering
contributions of Albert Einstein in 1905. It is hope that the efforts
of a worldwide collaboration of scientific societies during the World
Year of Physics will enthuse young children and brings the excitement
of physics to the public. It is also hope that the event will inspire
a new generation of scientists. For more information on the World Year of Physics 2005, read this page. |

"One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike --
and yet it is the most precious thing we have." |
