“Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)” Exhibition is coming to Hong Kong in April 18th 2011. 🙂
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Switzerland, the exhibition started its tour in China last year. The first and second stops of the exhibition were in Beijing and Guangzhou. After traveling to these cities, the exhibition will be staging at the Hong Kong Science Museum between April 18th until August 31st.
Here is a brief of the Exhibit Highlights:
– The Mirror Hall
Creating a sense of infinite space, the Mirror Hall shows video footage about the life of Einstein.
– Private life of the Einstein family
These family pictures of Einstein were taken during his childhood in Munich.
– Mirror Galvanometer
An instrument for detecting and measuring electric current. It has a small mirror attached to the moving element and uses a beam of light as an indicating pointer.
– Einstein and Mileva Marić
Love letters between Einstein and his wife, Mileva are revealed in this small room.
– Wonder Year 1905
In 1905, Einstein published papers on the special theory of relativity, photoelectric effect and Brownian motion.
– Einstein’s pocket watch
This pocket watch once belonged to Einstein. He bequeathed it to his son Hans Albert.
– Replica of the Nobel Prize diploma and medal
Awarded to Einstein in 1922 on his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
– Einstein’s Swiss passport
Einstein acquired this new passport in 1923.
– The Photoelectric Effect
This experiment shows that light has the property not only of waves but also of particles.
– The Brownian Motion
This exhibit illustrates the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid.
– The Virtual Bicycle Ride
If we could travel close to the speed of light, we would see the world in a different way. You can hop on this bicycle and see it for yourself.
– Black Hole
Black holes are regions in spacetime with extremely powerful gravitational fields. Here, you can experience what it would be like to be gobbled up by a black hole!
– The Cosmological Theatre
Videos on the Sun, galaxies and major events in the history of the universe such as the Big Bang are shown here.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say… But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures… Maybe you could space it out better? Ajax Roofing Contractors, 15-75 Bayly St. W., #323, Ajax, Ontario, L1S 7L7, Canada, 289-275-1500
