Einstein's Legacy. (This University of Colorado at Boulder website guides you to understand how some of the physics pioneered by Einstein and other scientists is used around us today in everyday life.) You can also visit the main Physics 2000 site -- an interactive journey through modern physics! Have fun learning visually and conceptually about 20th Century science and high-tech devices.

Center for History of Physics. The mission of the American Institute of Physics'(ADP) Center for History of Physics "is to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and allied fields." Visiting the History Exhibits, teachers and students can find interactive tutorials about many prominent physicists and important research such as Heisenberg's theory of uncertainty and the discovery of the electron. Educators can find helpful sample syllabi and reading lists creates by physics instructors. With so much historical physics information to offer, anyone interested in physics would benfit by visiting this site.

Atomic Clock. For centuries, men have sought the most accurate means to measure and monitor time. Their search has ranged from tracking the regular motions of heavenly bodies to probing the energies of atoms.A significant advance in atomic timekeeping has lately been made in the Time and Frequency Section of the National Research Council of Canada's Division of Physics. A new cesium beam standard, Cs V, will soon begin operation as the world's most accurate clock.
