Albert Einstein, renowned as the father of modern physics and the inventor of the theory of relativity, was originally German by birth. However, his groundbreaking work on the Theory of Relativity, which relates mass and energy, was formulated while he resided in Berne, Switzerland. 

Einstein’s decision to revoke his German citizenship to avoid military service brought him to Switzerland, where he developed his revolutionary theory. Berne is rightfully considered the birthplace of the Theory of Relativity, showcasing Switzerland’s historical significance in the world of science and its role in shaping our understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe.
