Physics Week Serves Pi(e)
You can have your pi and eat it too. The Lewis & Clark Physics Club served pie on Pi Day to kick off the College’s celebration of the World Year of Physics, March 14 to 17. The year 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s “miraculous year,” in which he published three important papers describing ideas that have since influenced all of modern physics. The Physics Club hosted a nearly weeklong series of events, including lectures, a physics carnival, model rocket building, and demonstrations.
