Sažetak
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 Mohorovičić. 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 Ruđer Bošković 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.
