"Ask someone who the most famous physicist is and the answer will most probably be "Albert Einstein". In 1905, Einstein wrote three papers (on light quanta, Brownian motion and the special theory of relativity), which would change the way we looked at physics. Given his iconic status in modern physics, the U.S. decided on "Einstein in the 21st Century" as its theme for the World Year of Physics 2005 the hundredth anniversary of those papers. While looking forward to physics in the 21st century, we also want to honor Einstein, the man."
