BRIDGEPORT -- There's a carnival atmosphere at The Discovery Museum this winter, and not just because of the model roller coaster just off the front lobby.

Here's a travel tip for physicists and other party hounds who want to get crazy for the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's "annus mirabilis," the year his work changed the course of science.
Forget the big doings today in Germany, where Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder will launch a year of festivities to honor Einstein's contributions.
... physics theories including the conservation of angular momentum and the laws of motion. He was...

Football, baseball, ice hockey, polo, jai alai, hopscotch -- all games provide a good way to demonstrate applied physics. You might say that all "obey the laws" of physics, but as far as we know, so does everything, including a stationary brick, a dead fly, a dust bunny and so on.
And "laws" isn't really the right word. Physics and science, in general, ultimately seek to describe the workings of nature and the universe.

If you're a stickler for the correct time, get ready. As the last second of the hour between 6 and 7 o'clock today approaches, prepare.
When 6:59:59 turns into 7 p.m. quickly switch the clock back to 6:59:59. That's it. You've added the official leap second of 2005.
... the center of the planet, and the conservation of angular momentum, speeds rotation by one to two...

B335
Astrophysicists have discovered that a cloud, B335, near the constellation Sagittarius is collapsing toward its center to form a new star. The presence of some gas outflow has made the phenomenon difficult to observe in the past.
... particle outflows is related to the conservation laws, Evans notes - in this case, the conservationn of angular momentum. Because the matter falling in wards tend...
