Not if you travel at the speed of light. Faster even. Then you can arrive
before you leave.
Surely, the only way to get to a meeting on Einstein.

Hi Dianne
I can't make it to the meeting tomorrow - rather a long way from Edinburgh!
Please could you keep me posted with developments though? Notes of the
meeting perhaps?
Thanks

Subject: Einstein Year discussion meeting - reminder
(Usual apologies for cross-posting).
Happy New Year.
Last year I sent out notification of a meeting for people with an interest
in communicating physics to discuss Einstein Year - the celebration of
physics in 2005 which will be part of World Year of Physics.
This meeting is on 14 January at 2.00pm at the Institute of Physics, 76
Portland Place London.
Thanks to all those people who have told me that they will try to attend
- this is a reminder to anyone else who is interested - please come along.
There is no formal registration.
Can I stress that this meeting will be an informal discussion meeting - if
you have ideas for the Year that do not seem to be covered by the agenda
below, please be prepared to share them with us - we aim to leave plenty of
time for discussion. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday afternoon.
Best wishes
Dianne
