Next Year

[davidshane]

Next year is the World Year of Physics, as declared by someone somewhere, I forget who. Say to "celebrate", our campus physics group is considering creating some posters with cool physicsy photos and quotations. Anybody have any to share?

I'd something about Einstein, 'cos the reason why it's 2005 is to celebrate the centenary of his annus mirabilis.

Now there is an idea you could have fun with. If anybody knew what we were talking about, at least.

You could put up some equations and say "If you can read this, thank a Physicist"

You could have the phrase "The beauty of physics is in the electric eye of the beholder".

I have a nice big fat book of quotations called "The oxford dictionary of Quotations"

so looking up "physics" gives me

"All science is either physics or stamp collecting"
- Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937)
British physicist

and a couple of others, but if you can point me to some famous names and if you want quotes i'll get them for you

Wouldn't that just be a picture of a box ?
