        History 
        Einstein discusses... 
• The development of the understanding of motion. 
• His life and his fame. 
• His love of playing the violin. 
• What education was like in Germany when he was young. 
• His difficulties in school.

  Einstein explains and illustrates his use of “thought experiments” and how he succeeded:  
             I was not successful because I had more knowledge than anyone
