From exhibitions to theatrical performances, from fireworks to video games, countless events and ventures have been held all over the world in 2005 to mark the occasion of the World Year of Physics (WYP2005). The year that is drawing to a close has brought physics out into the streets and University campuses, where there have never been so many public lectures or micro-events of every kind (from open days/open labs to science weeks with lessons in the street and small, specially created exhibitions), but in a few cases physics has even invaded theatre stages and art museums, it has involved musicians and even architects, who have planned exhibitions and great shows with quotations from the one real hero of the event, the scientist Albert Einstein. The worldwide objective was to highlight a science that has more and more need to communicate its close connections with society, its involvement in themes that are vital for the present day but above all for the future, like the frontiers of medicine, the reduction of global pollution and the search for new energy sources. 2005 is nearly over, but the celebrations will continue even during the first months of the new year. This focus tries to discover, country by country, the events that have accompanied the World Year of Physics, told with the words of the people who proposed and in some cases organised them, and of those who announced and reported them on radio, television and in the press. But this will also be an attempt to reply to a question on the very nature of this type of event: “do we really need it”? Is a World Year of Physics really necessary and, above all, is it effective?
