As the fourth quarter begins, I cannot help but realize how much we have learned in physics over the year. Another sunday has passed again, but all I can think about is that time we saw the statue of DOC! in Washington DC! amazing. Near the memorials is a statue commemorating the great german scientist Einstein. As we sat in friendly Einstein lap to take a picture with such a famous dude, an electron, seemingly coming out of the photoelectric effect cam and spoke to me. No, it wasn't DOC! this time, it was The Ghost of Einstein!. He explained how back in the day, DOC! taught him all he knew about physics. Just like on the statue, Einstein helped with the theory of relativity with the mass energy equivalence equation E=mc^2. Einstein was also noted for the photoelectric effect. Wow. Such a cool dude was right here in Washington DC. A great product of DOC!'s teaching, the Einstein statue had a tablet with all of his famous equations as well as a floor surrounding him is a star map. Lesson of this week: People who are statues must be pretty darn famous.
