Einsteinium Zone
Named after the famous physicist Albert Einstein (surprise, surprise), Einsteinium is a solid element discovered in 1952. It is a man-made element, with only a few milligrams of it being created each year. It has a very short half life (meaning it disintegrates quickly) which is why it doesn’t have any uses apart from basic scientific research.
The Einsteinium Zone is a general physics zone. Here you’ll meet a scientist who simulates impact cratering events that occur in the solar system, and one who look at rocks from space to find out how the Earth, Moon, planets and solar system formed. One scientist is helping to improve quality issues in the steel industry, while another is looking for dark matter. Also in this zone is a scientist building a classroom-size contraption that can shoot invisible lasers.
