Abstract
The year of 2005 was the international year of Albert Einstein and physics
in general. A multitude of events happened all over the world associated
to that, and much of the related information can be easily found via internet.
These celebrities allowed for an accommodating occasion at the Department
of Geophysics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, to introduce a couple
of geophysical experiments for a broad audience, to show its seismological
facilities and the Memorial room of Andrija Mohorovi~i}. More than a thousand
people saw the geophysical facilities and the experiments within three days
during Physics Week and the Department Open Days in November 2005.
Media followed the events for several days taking place in the city of Zagreb,
Faculty of Science, Institute Ru|er Bo{kovi} and the Institute of Physics. The
aim of this short article is to document the highlights of the year of physics –
geophysics. These celebrities partly continued on/off through 2007, which is a
150-year anniversary of the birthday of Andrija Mohorovičić.
