In my posting below, a reader notes that 1905 was a very good year for Albert Einstein. Another reader offers this irresistible footnote:

Nineteen-five was also a great year for Mankind…. That winter, Frank Epperson,
then 11 years old, accidentally invented the Popsicle when he left powdered
soda pop mix and water outside overnight. It was originally called the
“Epperson Icicle” and was patented in 1923.
Science is a beautiful thing.
