Overview

Immerse yourself in the cobblestone alleys of Bern and travel back to the year 1905 – a year that turned our understanding of the universe upside down. This is not a story about a celebrated professor in a state-of-the-art laboratory. It is the hidden, human story of a 26-year-old patent clerk, a fighting father, and an academic outsider who rewrote the laws of physics between his main job and changing diapers. Join us on a discovery tour through the everyday reality that produced an extraordinary genius.
