'Light of Einstein' to Illuminate DokdoThursday, March 24, 2005 Celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's Theory of Relativity will be given an added twist when a light beamed halfway across the world will shine on the controversy-prone Dokdo Islets.
North Gyeongsang Province and Pohang City announced Thursday the rocks in the East Sea lie in the path of the "Light of Einstein" that will girdle the globe on April 19 at 8:00 p.m.
The light will travel from Princeton University in the United States, where Einstein found refuge from Nazi Germany, to the West Coast by a relay of flash lamps and headlights. Captured on a web camera in a coastal village, electric signboards will light up in Busan, Korea, when the light will be transformed into electromagnetic wave signals in Pohang to arrive on the Dokdo Islets. There they will be converted to light again, while illuminated fishing vessels will swarm the water around the islets. From there the light will be transmitted to Pohang.
Full story from The Chosun Ilbo.
