Abstract | This article deals with a pale blue sculpture entitled "A New World View", as an homage to the most famous scientist in modern history, Albert Einstein. It has 32 bas-relief squares composed of glass and steel that represent one aspect of the life and legacy of Albert Einstein. Images of children's faces peer out from behind the glass squares, often seeming to ponder the mysterious shapes and objects hovering before them. It was commissioned as part of last year's World Year of Physics celebration by the U.S. World Year of Physics (WYP) team, which includes representatives of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), the American Institute of Physics (AIP), and the American Physical Society (APS). It commemorates a century of physics since Einstein revolutionized the understanding of nature and the universe. This article points out WYP's dedication to explore Einstein's contributions to science. (Contains 4 online resources.) (ERIC). |
