Then a professor of nuclear physics and particle physics spoke Efstathios Steliariswho gave a presentation entitled “Annus mirabilis”from the life of this great scientist, focusing on the “miraculous year” 1905 when three of Einstein’s most important papers were published.

The following talk of a PhD in Solid State Physics, Vassilis Karavoulas, with the address Insights through equations. He referred to Einstein’s work later in life and how the latter, through his mistakes, was advancing in deepening scientific knowledge.

The third letter is entitled Albert Einstein: From the dialectic of nature to the dialectic of society. Carried out by a researcher at the National Observatory of Athens and prof Manos Saridakis, who pointed out how Einstein linked the pursuit of science to the pursuit of social issues and how science develops in a collective way, as well as the basic principles of a dialectical scientific understanding of the physical world.

The last letter was entitled “The detection of gravitational waves as a late confirmation of the theory” By a professor in the field of astrophysics, astronomy and engineering Theohary Apostolatowho referred to the recent experiments being conducted in the field of gravitational wave detection, which came to confirm the general theory of relativity and the future of related research.

During the event, souvenirs were distributed by the Association of Physics Students, on which were the words of the great scientist “Science advances when we challenge adults”.

Finally, it should be noted that even for such an event that was attended and attended by the faculty members of the department and other researchers, the Student Association was asked to pay a sum of money to be able to use the Aristotle conference room of the department!
