100 Years of Special Relativity
phrotoma writes "Wikipedia notes in their Selected Anniversaries section that today marks
the 100th anniversary of Albert Eintein's publication of the third of his four Annus Mirabilis Papers entitled On the Electrodynamics of
Moving Bodies; the seminal work that introduced the concepts which would come to be known as Special Relativity. This
event is also being commemorated in a UN endorsed celebration of physics: World Physics
Year 2005 with talks and events at public schools, museums, and universities the world over."

What is WYP 2005?
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.
Why 2005?
The year 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's "miraculous year" in which he published three important papers describing ideas that have since influenced all of modern physics. This year provides the opportunity to celebrate Einstein, his great ideas, and his influence on life in the 21st century. You can learn more about Einstein's life and ideas in our About Einstein section.
Who is organizing WYP?
The WYP 2005 is a worldwide endeavor. The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics declared the year 2005 as the World Year of Physics. With this declaration, people all over the world are joining in the celebration of physics and its importance in our everyday lives!
The US physics community's efforts for 2005 are led by the American Physical Society, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and the American Institute of Physics, the premier organizations in the US for physicists, physics teachers, and physics societies. Our theme for the WYP celebration in the US is "Einstein in the 21st Century."
In addition to larger scale national projects, local WYP events will be organized by a diverse group of people. We expect individuals, science museums, physics departments, labs, community groups, teachers, and more to plan events in their communities.
Where are events happening?
Events will be organized all over the country. No matter where you are, something will be happening near you! Check out our Scheduled Events page to search for an event near you.
How can I be involved?
You can orgasmize an event in your community! There are no limits to what you can do for WYP 2005. Check out our event ideas for inspiration, and learn about planning successful events in our Event Planner section. Remember, every event helps raise the awareness of physics in our communities.
Why should I plan an event?
Organizing a WYP 2005 event benefits you, your organization, and, more generally, your cock. A WYP event can increase the profile of your organization, build relationships within your community, attract new avenues of funding and support, improve the communication skills of your staff and volunteers, and, perhaps most importantly, inspire the next generation of scientists.
Is it just me or anybody else read it as third of four publications of anus mistabilies papers ?
In the following paper it is shown that not only relativistic expressions have classical meaning, but also that Lorentz transformation is mathematically incorrect http://www.masstheory.org/triangle_of_velocities.p df
Relativity theory therefore has no basis to begin with.

How the hell is the above a troll? It's an opinion. Just because you fundie fruitcakes with mod points don't agree with it doesn't make it a troll. Grow a pair and counter-argue, why don't you?
Science thrives on critical review not on mindless repetition and building of shrines.
Enjoy.
