A year from now marks 100 years since Albert Einstein wrote his paper on electrodynamics of moving bodies and sent it to Annalen der Physik. I assume there will be some hoopla about it next year, including conferences, more books and magazine articles, and lots of debates.

But I haven't heard any news of planning celebrations yet.

Thanks! remember: E=mc2! :wink:

"The World Year of Physics (WYP 2005) is a worldwide celebration of physics and its importance in our everyday lives. Physics not only plays an important role in the development of science and technology but also has a tremendous impact on our society. WYP aims to raise the worldwide awareness of physics and physical science."
 


It is certainly possible that 2025 may be a big celebration for physics, especially in light of the significance of Albert Einstein's paper on electrodynamics of moving bodies. However, it is difficult to predict with certainty if there will be a large-scale celebration in the field of physics, as it ultimately depends on the efforts and interests of the scientific community. It is possible that there may be conferences, books, and articles dedicated to commemorating this milestone, but it is also possible that it may not receive as much attention as other scientific advancements. Regardless, the impact of Einstein's work cannot be denied and it is important to continue to recognize and honor his contributions to the field of physics. And of course, let us not forget the famous equation E=mc2, which has become synonymous with his name and serves as a reminder of the incredible discoveries made in the world of physics.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
