World Year of Physics Celebration

As part of the international World Year of Physics 2005 celebration, the University of Maryland Department is proud to host several events celebrating the centennial anniversary of Albert Einstein's “miraculous year” of 1905, his most prolific year.

To begin the celebration, the Department is hosting a distinguished lecture series featuring reknowned physicists such as Nobel Laureates Leon Lederman, Anthony Legget and Sheldon Glashow; as well as Michael Turner, assistant director for mathematical and physical sciences at the National science Foundatio; John Stachel, director of the Center for Einstein Studies at Boston University; and Benoit Mandelbrot, recipient of the 2003 Japan Prize.
