Albert Einstein



I read ...

Albert Einstein. Physicist. Born in Ulm, Germany, on 14th March 1879; died in Princeton, New Jersey, USA, on April 18th 1955. Einstein is regarded as the father of today's philosophical and scientific conception of the world, like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton before him. As a humanist he courageously fought for world peace.

... therefore, I think!

Today would then be the day that he came to this world !

Last June, I was visiting Bern, Switzerland.
Upon my return, I have written a word (click here) about  regular life in Bern ... the day-to-day life.
I have spared you the touristy things but today I have decided to share 2 pictures of Einstein's apartment at Kramgass 49, Bern ...

So here it is ...

Living room
Some knick knacks

Why are we so curious as to go visit someone else's house?

What can be there that could be so interesting to us? Geek voyeurism ???

Sometimes, I think of names such as Einstein, Oppenheimer, Curie, Dewar, Wiley, Stahl, Solvay, Nicolaou or any other ones and I am mesmerized at the date they died. I remember when I was still in college and thinking of these scientists as being ancient ... but no, no ... at the most what ? 100 years. So many scientific discoveries have been done in the past 100-200 years, unbelievable.
