Wonderful Speaker Series, " How Einstein Rocked the World of Physics in 1905: A 100 Year Celebration", by Dr. Phil Deutchman, Emeritus Professor, University of Idaho

Science / Technology - Colloquium

Wednesday, October 5, 2005
4:00 PM-5:00 PM

Olin Hall
107

The presentation, aimed at the undergraduate and general audiences, will be a discussion (mathematics kept to a minimum) of Einsteins five papers that rocked the world of physics. There will be a gentle introduction, with visual examples, to the basic ideas contained in each paper and the emphasis will be on the impact each paper had on the field of physics. Phils hope is to convey the pleasure and excitement of these ideas to the audience and to marvel at how Albert Einstein could have produced work of such profusion, profundity and prescience in such a short period of time.
