Bern, Switzerland
We had the opportunity to visit Bern, Switzerland with our friend Noa who lived in Des Moines for 20 years but returned to her home country of Switzerland.
It was fun to see the capitol of Switzerland.........a community about the size of Des Moines.
In Bern we visited the home of Albert Einstein who spent quite abit of time in Switzerland. It was at his Bern home in 1905 that he put together his Theory on Relativity............which was one of his major accomplishments that led to the winning of the Nobel Prize in 1921.
Albert died at the age of 76 in the US while at Princeton. He was born in Ulm, Germany but when he was visiting the US in 1933 Hitler's forces were starting to take over so he never did return to his home country.
Einstein was very instrumental in convincing Franklin Roosevelt that the US should begin work on the possibility of an Atomic Bomb..........which resulted in the launch of the Manhattan Project.........and the rest is history.........sad........but history.
