Albert Einstein was one of the the most famous scientist of the world.

Albert Einstein was born as the first child of the Jewish couple Hermann and Pauline Einstein, in Ulm on March 14, 1879.
A short time later the Einstein family went to Munich where Albert first attended elementary school and subsequently Luitpold grammar school. He was an "average" pupil but already very early interested in science and mathematics. He did not like lessons in grammar school as they were held with strict discipline and as he was forced to learn. When he turned 15 he left school without any degree and followed his family to Milan. To make up for the missed degree he attended school in Aarau (Switzerland) from 1895 to 1896 when he successfully took his A-levels and began to study in Zurich. His ambition was to obtain the diploma of a subject teacher for mathematics and physics. He successfully finished his studies in July 1900.
He moved to Bern and was given work at the Patent Office. In 1905 he published several of his important scientific works. One work contains the most famous formula of the world "E = m • c2". This formula states that matter can be converted into energy.
Einstein’s famous formula.
In 1903 he married his college mate Mileva Maric. One year later Einstein’s first son, Hans Albert, was born and his second son Eduard followed in 1910. In 1909 he became professor for theoretical physics at the University of Zurich. In 1914 Einstein was called to Berlin to work there scientifically. In the same year World War I broke out.
After Einstein had separated from his wife Mileva he married his cousin Elsa in 1919. After this theory was proven right in an experiment in 1919 (deflection of light by the sun’s gravitational field). For the year 1921 he received the Nobel Prize for Physics.
From 1933 Einstein and his family lived in Princeton, USA. At the "Institute for Advanced Study" he found ideal working conditions. In December 1936 Einstein’s wife Elsa died. In 1939 World War II broke out.

On 17 April 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, he died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.

Albert Einstein was one of the the most famous scientist of the world.


Albert Einstein was born in
Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire on 14 March 1879.


Albert attended a
Catholic elementary school from the age of five for three years.


At the age of eight, he was transferred to the Luitpold Gymnasium (now known as the Albert Einstein Gymnasium) where he received advanced primary and secondary school education until he left Germany seven years later.

After, Einstein realized that there must be something causing the needle to move, despite the apparent "empty space". As he grew, Einstein built models and mechanical devices for fun and began to show a talent for mathematics.

When Einstein was ten years old, Max Talmud a poor Jewish medical student from
Poland, was introduced to the Einstein family by his brother, and during weekly visits over the next five years, he gave the boy popular books on science, mathematical texts and philosophical writings.


In 1895, at the age of sixteen, Einstein sat the entrance examinations for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in
Zurich.


In September 1896, he passed the Swiss
Matura with mostly good grades, and, though only seventeen, enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the ETH Zurich.


In 1903 he married his college mate Mileva Maric.

In May 1904, the couple's first son,
Hans Albert Einstein, was born in Bern. Their second son, Eduard, was born in Zurich in July 1910.


In 1914, Einstein moved to Berlin, while his wife remained in Zurich with their sons. .

After Einstein had separated from his wife Mileva, and he married his cousin Elsa in 1919, but
in 1935, Elsa Einstein was diagnosed with heart and kidney problems and died in December 1936.

In 1921, Einstein was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect, as relativity was considered still somewhat controversial.


On 17 April 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an
abdominal aortic aneurysm, he died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.


Phrases known about Albert Einstein:
-Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

-Where there is love there is live.

Tolosa topic

TOPIC, Tolosa's International Puppet Centre, radiates magic to the core, where imagination, innovation and originality go hand in hand. This is the only centre in Europe focusing exclusively on the puppet's world. In fact, we should not forget that Tolosa has always had a very tight connection with this art, as the international festival Titirijai proves. 
The ground floor plays host to the modern auditorium with a capacity of 250 spectators, and staging and rehearsal rooms, whereas the first floor has a cafeteria and a buffet restaurant to hold performances or exhibitions of intimate atmosphere. On that very floor can be found the puppet storeroom, which keeps the pieces that are not on display. As to the second floor, the permanent and temporary exhibitions take place in here. It should also be noted that the wide TOPIC collection consists of over 1,500 puppets from 40 countries. 


To finish, the archives, the documentation centre (DVDs, books, posters, photos…), artists' and researchers' headquarters and rooms for workshops are situated on the third floor, whereas the fourth holds choir rehearsals. 






Bullring of Tolosa

Third class bullring that holds 5,500 people distributed in 5 "tendidos," sort of sections in a bullring. 

Besides the bullfights, "novilladas" and festivals, this ring is an important meeting centre, scene of the famous Tolosa Carnivals. At carnivals time, all kinds of celebrations take place such as the "toros embolados," a type of bullrunning where bulls wear protective fireballs on the horns. 
The bullring was open in 1903, with bullfighters such as "Guerrerito" and "Bonarillo." This ring is remarkable for its proportional shape and its extraordinary acoustics. It measures 37.5 metres and has a 1.8 metres-long alley. It is also equipped with two stockyards, 7 pens, horse yard and stables and infirmary.

SANTA MARIA
Built in the Gothic-Basque style (C. XVII). The group of pillars make up three naves of the same height, each finished with a ribbed vault.  In 1761, the architect Martin de Carrera created the baroque facade we see today and, at the turn of the 19th Century, Silvestre Perez restored and gave this magnificent church, occupying  1,630m2 , a touch of the neoclassical.
As far as the inside is concerned, we can admire a central altarpiece, as well as several images painted on the side walls. These alterations of a neoclassic nature were introduced at the beginning of the 19th century by the architect Silvestre Pérez.
