The World Year of Physics
2005 is a United Nations endorsed, international celebration of physics. Events

societies, the World Year of Physics brings the excitement of physics to the

of scientists.
Albert Einstein (Ulm 1879 - Princeton 1955), Nobel Prize 1921 for Physics, is celebrated this year for three reasons:
- 50 years from
his death
- 100 years from the presentation of the theory of relativity, with the formula
E=mc2
- the UNESCO Year of Physics, celebrates Einstein.
Several postal administrations have already issued stamps or are in the processing of doing it. As of today Albert Einstein is depicted on about 200 stamps.
