Today’s Doodle pays tribute to Sri Lanka’s Independence Day and celebrates its 72 years as an independent republic. On this day in 1948, the island state in the Indian Ocean declared its sovereignty from Great Britain.

A day of parades and patriotism, Independence Day begins with the raising of the country’s multicolored flag, featuring a gold lion with a sword in hand. The design of the flag has its roots in the legend of the founder of Sri Lanka, Prince Vijaya from Sinhapura (“Lion City”), India. The lion stands in a crimson square surrounded by four leaves of the bo tree, which symbolize the four Buddhist virtues of joy, kindness, compassion, and equanimity. The orange and green vertical stripes represent the island’s Hindu and Muslim communities.

The nation’s capital of Colombo is the center for the holiday celebrations that include a presidential address, cultural performances, and traditional music. Sri Lankans often enjoy regional foods such as hoppers, lamprais, or kothu while spending time with friends and family in recognition of the country’s national pride.

Happy Independence Day, Sri Lanka!

Father of the cell phone & IEEE Life Fellow, Martin Cooper, has a law named after him. Cooper’s Law states that our is advancing at such a rate that the number of different wireless comms possible in one location at the same time will double every 30 months. This “law” has held true since the first transmission by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895.

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”
It will be difficult for us to adapt to a world without renowned physicist, cosmologist and best-selling author, Stephen Hawking. He did impactful work on the basic laws which govern the universe and was best known for his work with black holes and relativity. He also wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes. We salute you, Mr. Hawking.

Today in 1879, theoretical physicist Albert Einstein was born. Einstein developed the general theory of relativity, and is well-known for his mass-energy equivalence formula: E=mc 2. In 1921, Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of photoelectric effect, a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory. Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works.
