Hammers and Chisels Against Einstein
Relativity at Michigan

Presented by Prof. Rudi Lindner
Department of History, University of Michigan

The United Nations has declared 2005 as the Year of Physics to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Albert Einsteins famous papers that changed not only science but the world as we know it! The 26 year-old patent clerk developed his ground-breaking theories with only pure reasoning and no contact with fellow physicists at the time. We are still trying to understand and test these brilliant ideas; but the world was a different place in 1905. Many countries, and society as a whole, had trouble with Einsteins radical new ideas. Join the KAS as Professor Rudi P. Lindner from the University of Michigan enlightens us on how Einsteins theories were accepted by the scientific community as well as American society!
