The International Geophysical Year (1957-58): The International Geophysical Year (IGY), 1 July 1957 to 31 December 1958, celebrated the 75th and 25th anniversaries of the First and Second IPYs. The IGY was conceived by a number of post-WWII eminent physicists, including Sydney Chapman, James Van Allen, and Lloyd Berkner, at an informal gathering in Washington, DC in 1950. These individuals realized the potential of the technology developed during WWII (for example, rockets and radar), and they hoped to redirect the technology and scientific momentum towards advances in research, particularly in the upper atmosphere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.246.77 ( talk • contribs)
According to the International Polar Year website ( http://www.ipy.org/), IPY runs from March 2007 to March 2009. Why is this 24-month (or 25-month) "year" not called an International Polar Biennium (IPB)? -- Wavelength 19:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
The coin controversy section has been taken verbatim from a copyrighted news account, which was referenced in the section. As this section should probably be rewritten and, as it has nothing to do with the IPY per se, perhaps is should be removed altogether and put into WikiNews. -- 76.87.145.253 04:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Maybe we should consider Antarctica a testing ground for space colonization and treat research there as a step towards the planets (including the dwarf planets) and, if we ever find a way around the speed of light, the stars as well. — Rickyrab | Talk 19:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to add some information about a National Research Council report on IPY that released yesterday (April 3 2012).
Any feedback would be great! Earlgrey101 ( talk) 14:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
