AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the idea of creating a "Physics Calendar" that highlights significant dates in physics, such as Newton's birthday and the discovery of general relativity by Einstein. Participants express a desire to celebrate these dates on social media, sharing their enthusiasm for physics with friends. However, there is a humorous acknowledgment that physics, due to the non-absolute nature of time, complicates the creation of such a timeline. Links to existing resources, like the APS timeline and Wikipedia's portal on physics anniversaries, are shared as potential references. The conversation also includes light-hearted exchanges about music and personal interests, reflecting a community of physics enthusiasts looking to connect over shared knowledge and celebrations.

We need a "Physics Calendar"...anyone?

One that shows when Newton's Birthday is, when Einstein discovered general relativity, etc. Then when something shows up we can go geeky on our facebook pals and say "Happy Newton's Day!"

And they'll be all like "s/he's such a nerdy dweeb!"

And we'll be all like :biggrin:

Does anyone have the goods?

Unfortunately, as time is not absolute Physics cannot provide you with such a timeline.
 


And π-day, and e-ster.
