Einstein Year
About Einstein Year
In 1905 Albert Einstein changed physics and the way we understand our world. One hundred years on Einstein Year celebrated the excitement and diversity of contemporary physics. During 2005 more than half a million people took part in over 500 events and explored what physics meant to them
Take a look at Einstein Year in pictures for a selection of activities that took place throughout the UK and Ireland during 2005.
Einstein Year was evaluated by the Institute of Education. The final report is available to download here.
One of the aims of Einstein Year was to generate widespread media coverage so as to reach a much greater audience than is possible through physical events alone. Einstein Year generated over 600 pieces of coverage including articles in Boys Toys, Toxic, the Guardian and the Telegraph and mentions on Radio 4, Newsnight and Blue Peter. The media evaluation report will be available here soon.
