Recently I saw an advertisement in a Swiss traveling magazine (Via from Sbb) about a museum of the life of Albert Einstein. He was born near Frankfurt, Germany and came to Switzerland due studies at Universities. Of course while studying mathematics and, geometry and physics, you hear and often hear about him and his revolutionary, crazy ideas and inventions.

He is for me a great personality because of his creative way of thinking and complex perspective of things with the eye of a physician. He is a guy that thinks out of the box. And think I really like is the story when he proved so wisely to a professor that he cannot deny a higher being like God. There are many other famous quotes that make him to an interesting personality.

🙂 So I called up a friend and together we visited the „Einstein Museum“ in the historical museum of Bern yesterday afternoon. And of course we looked a little bit at the beautiful site of this city. The museum is here:

What a pleasure it was to get to know him better, his family and what especially made him so famous. Did you know for example that he is a father of three children? That he fled from a KZ in Germany? That he earned money in his twenties in Zurich giving private math and physics lessons?

Don’t worry, I won’t spoiler you all the interesting information, because you should go by yourself! But I think it is appropriate to note here, that we spent there about two hours until they closed the museum… we could have been there two more! 😀

Revolutionary thinking & acting

What makes me so marvelous about him, is what he made with his genius talent. A little bit funny is that he didn’t follow a strict way of learning or education, in fact he didn’t like school and often would skip classes. But if you think he skipped school to be lazy or enjoy free time or something, you are mistaken! He would take things apart, study their functionality, calculate their math and physics behind it and even build his own thing. When he went to high school with 17 years, he actually was the youngest fellow there and finished with outstanding marks!
