First Question:
When can I download the Collaboratory?
We are currently working hard to develop the Collaboratory and have begun internal alpha testing. We plan to release a limited beta by the end of 2005. We hope to go live in spring of 2006.

Happy World Year of Physics 2005! Many exciting things are happening during 2005. Check our website for the latest details regarding our projects. http://www.physics2005.org
You're receiving this message because you signed up to be on the list at our website or at an APS, AAPT or other scientific meeting. This newsletter, containing information about the World Year of Physics 2005, is distributed approximately every six weeks.
1. Physics Enlightens the World---Last Chance to Participate!!
In the World Year of Physics 2005 as many people as possible should get the feeling to be part of a great physics community spanning the whole globe. "Physics enlightens the world" is an endeavour to achieve just that: A world-wide relay of light to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Albert Einstein's death on next Monday, April 18, 2005. For more information, click on: http://www.physics2005.org/events/projects.html
2. Einstein@Home makes it onto 100,000 PCs
Einstein@Home--our distributed computing project to search for gravitational waves--was officially launched on February 18. We have 72,337 registered users so far who have volunteered time on a total of more than 100,000 computers. Participants currently represent over 140 countries. The raw computational capacity of the participants' CPUs is over 85 TeraFlops (floating point operations per second), which exceeds the capacity of IBM's Blue Gene L (70.72 Tflops), the record holding, stand-alone supercomputer. Join in the search for gravitational waves today! Sign up at: http://www.einsteinathome.org
3. Searching for the next generation of physics talent
The World Year of Physics 2005 Physics Talent Search project is now beginning in earnest. Both students and evaluators are urged to participate (evaluators must be members of APS or AAPT). Students' results are due by July 31, 2005. All awards and recognitions will be completed by the US Organizing Committee no later than 15 September 2005. Sign up today at: http://www.usphysicstalentsearch.org
4. WYP Promotional Kits
Now that the World Year of Physics 2005 is upon us, how about getting an official World Year of Physics 2005 Promotional Kit! Kits include lapel pins, magazines, balloons, pens, glasses and posters, or you can purchase individual items as you require. These items work great as door prizes, science awards for your graduates, or fun give-away items for volunteers at demo shows or at formal events. Order your kit online at: http://www.spsnational.org/societynews/2005WYP_shirts.htm
The WYP2005 Online Event Finder is available. We want to hear about YOUR World Year of Physics event in the United States. Add your open house, public lecture, lab tour, or physics demonstrations to our online event finder so others in your area (and around the country) can find out about your events.
One hundred years ago Albert Einstein published the theories that eventually led to the creation of the nuclear bomb, space travel, satellite technology and a new understanding of the universe. But it was a single equation that made Einstein the most famous scientist in history.
E=mc2 (energy equals mass times the speed of light squared) proves that a large amount of energy can be released from a small amount of matter. The equation explains why the sun shines and how the Big Bang created the universe. But Einstein's theory of relativity also became the basis for the most destructive force ever unleashed — the nuclear bomb.
In the later part of Einstein's life he spent much of his time trying to disprove his theories because they clashed with his personal beliefs. He was so appalled that he described his involvement in the bomb as "his biggest blunder."

Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Einstein's most famous formula was named one of the 100 greatest discoveries of all time in the field of physics. He also had a hand in several of the other discoveries as well.
Brilliant Minds Quiz
Do you have a head for science? This Science Channel quiz will test your understanding of Einstein's work as well as that of a few other great thinkers.
100 Greatest Discoveries
Einstein dominates in the physics arena, but he didn't work in a vacuum. From medicine to space, review the greatest discoveries of our time across eight categories.
