Review of the year



Review of the year (Dec 22)
  http://physicsweb.org/article/news/9/12/14

   It was the International Year of Physics, when physicists around the
   globe celebrated the centenary of Einstein's famous papers on
   relativity, Brownian motion and the quantum theory of light. The year
   saw a vast range of events, conferences and exhibitions to commemorate
   the top physicist of all time and enthuse the public about physics. But
   was 2005 an annus mirabilis for physics research? It is probably too
   soon to give a definitive answer, but as the year draws to a close the
   likely answer seems to be "no".
