The house is located outside Genoa's 14th-century walls. During the Renaissance, the area became subject to intense building, mainly consisting of public housing.[2]
Columbus was born in 1451, and historical documents indicated that Columbus lived here between approximately 1455 and 1470. At this time, the house had two or maybe three stories, with a shop on the ground floor, and the front door to the left of the shop.[2]
According to historian Marcello Staglieno, the original house was most likely destroyed in the French Bombardment of Genoa in 1684. It was rebuilt in the early 18th century on the basis of the original ruins.[3] The rebuilt structure had a height of five stories. However, the upper stories were built by placing their beams on the neighboring buildings. When the neighboring buildings were demolished around 1900, as part of the construction of Via XX Settembre, the upper stories of this building were removed, and it was reduced to its current height of two stories.[4]
Currently the building operates as a museum, under the management of the "Porta Soprana" Genovese cultural association. Its central location and nearby parking make it a popular meeting place for the Genovese.[2]
Aunque Ginebra se menciona en escritos de Julio César en latín como Genava (Génava), durante la Guerra de las Galias, el nombre en sí mismo es de origen céltico. Este también ha sido transformado por otras culturas. Por ejemplo, Ginebra es llamada Geneva en inglés y arpitano.
En las cuatro lenguas nacionales de Suiza: en francésGenève (lengua y nombre oficial); en alemánGenf; en italianoGinevra; en romancheGenevra.
En lenguas distintas del castellano, es usual la confusión entre esta ciudad y el puerto italiano de Génova. Al parecer, se debería a que tienen una raíz céltica común, genu/genawa 'estuario'.
1En 2000, la ciudad obtuvo el premio Wakker de la liga suiza del patrimonio nacional por su concepto de rehabilitación de la ribera del Ródano y su entorno inmediato.
El primer pueblo que se estableció en la región y en parte de Galia (Saboya y Delfinado) fueron los alóbroges. El lugar ocupado actualmente por Ginebra fue un poblado alóbroge, tomado y fortificado por César (58 a. C.). Bajo la dominación romana, formó parte de la Galia Narbonense, la provincia. Con la caída del imperio, la ocuparon los burgundios (siglo v) y los francos (534). Fue la capital del reino de Borgoña en el siglo ix, y se integró en el Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico en 1032, dentro del cual gozó de cierta autonomía.
"l'Escalade".
La unión de Ginebra con Friburgo y Berna permitió a la ciudad expulsar definitivamente al obispo en 1536 y adoptar la Reforma, iniciada por Martín Lutero, al acoger a Juan Calvino en 1541 y ser el principal foco del calvinismo. Calvino y Farel organizaron una rígida república teocrática que resistió los embates de los duques de Saboya, convirtiéndose en una tierra de asilo que acogió a los protestantes perseguidos por los católicos y los intelectuales en desacuerdo con la Iglesia católica, de ahí su nombre de la Roma protestante.
En la noche del 11 al 12 de diciembre de 1602, Ginebra fue atacada por el duque de SaboyaCarlos Manuel I. Los atacantes utilizaron escaleras plegables de madera (guardadas en el Museo de arte e historia) para asaltar la muralla sur. Los ginebrinos ganaron la batalla y llamaron al acontecimiento "l'Escalade", cuya conmemoración se celebra cada año. Anexionada por la Francia revolucionaria el 15 de abril de 1798, la unión duró hasta la toma de la ciudad por las tropas austriacas el 30 de diciembre de 1813. En 1815 se sumó a la Confederación Helvética.
Did Large Hadron Collider create TIME TRAVEL? 'Machine shut down after plane vanishes'
THE Large Hadron Collider "created a 'time warp' that sent a passenger jet thousands of miles off course" in the blink of an eye and caused a massive power black out, it has shockingly been claimed.
Conspiracy theorists have sensationally claimed the LCH caused time travel.
The huge scientific experiment, which is used to collide particles to discover more about how the universe formed, opened a time portal meaning an Iberworld Airbus A330-300 ended up landing 5,500 miles from where it was supposed to, conspiracy theorists say.
Built among miles of tunnels under the Swiss-French border, the complex machine is run by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN).
Claims are now ride CERN scientists shut down the LHC during an experiment immediately after the incident with the plane.
An article on website Freedom Fighter Times said: "The power released from the LHC was so strong that it sent a time warp across the planet.
"What really happened can best be explained as a massive power outage all across South America."
The report said CERN scientists began a series of experiments during which they discovered their testing was "distorting our Earth’s magnetic field and had 'shot off' a 'time wave' towards the core of the planet”.
GETTY
LARGE HADRON: The LCH is the biggest scientific experiment on Earth.
Tracking showed the wave veered exactly towards the ‘Sun Gate’ high in the Bolivian Andes mountains, the report said.
The report added the “initial ‘time wave’ spawned by the LHC” erupted from the ‘Sun Gate’ and headed out towards the space above South America.
The wave then “glanced into the path of an Iberworld Airbus A330-300 flown by Air Comet which was ready to begin its descent into Santa Cruz, Bolivia, but then found itself ‘instantly and mysteriously’ over the skies of Santa Cruz, in Tenerife, Spain, over 5,500 miles away”.
All 170 passengers and the crew of flight A7-301 were safe, and after 17 hours on the ground in Spain the departed back to Bolivia.
The bizarre plane incident is said to have happened on November 1 2009.
A day later CERN lost power at the LHC and announced some days later in a statement a bird had dropped a piece of baguette onto the machinery, causing the shut down.
The report added: "After this mysterious event CERN scientists shut down the LHC blaming their failed experiment on a bird dropping a piece of bread onto outdoor machinery.
"After which their Director for Research and Scientific Computing, Sergio Bertolucci, warned that the titanic LHC machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or 'unknown unknowns' such as an 'extra dimension'".
The report, and other similar ones went onto claim, even after the LHC was shut down, “dimensional distortions” created in South America by the “time wave” continued and caused the Gateway of the Sun monolith to send out what Russian scientists likened to a "digital communication”.
This was said to have been blasted towards thousands of Pyramids and other ancient sites in Brazil and the Andes Region, leading to a massive power outage plunging “tens-of-millions of people into darkness".

Former Whitby Town councillor Simon Parkes claimed he stopped LCH scientists allowing Satan through
So is any of this true?
Well it is true that CERN had been testing the LHC on November 1, after it was out of action for more than a year, following a previous power failure.
It is also true CERN had to postpone the test runs of the LHC on November 2, 2009, after the bird dropped bread into an external electricity supply cutting power to the machine, as announced in a press release some days later.
There are also reports online that flight A7-301 ended up at Santa Cruz, in Tenerife, instead of the same in Bolivia, with 170 passengers on board, with no explanation initially given.
According to Researchers, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can possibly turn out to be a first time machine. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest and the most powerful particle accelerator. Being the most powerful particle collider, it is the most complex experimental facility ever built and the largest single machine in the world.
Purpose of LHC
The Large Hadron Collider was built to replicate the conditions at the big bang, and answer humanity’s most basic questions — what are we made of and how did we come to exist? Scientists are still working on that, but have stumbled across something that promises to be even more exciting: The possibility of time travel and the time machine.

As per the theory of Physicists Thomas Weiler and Chui Man Ho, the Large Hadron Collider– the world’s largest atom smasher, could be the first time machine capable of causing matter to travel backward in time.
“Our theory is a long shot, but it doesn’t violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints.”
– Professor Thomas Weiler
The Higgs Boson
One of the major goals of the collider was to find the elusive Higgs Boson: The God Particle that physicists invoke to explain why particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons have mass. It is known to be what caused the Big Bang billions of years ago. Higgs Boson is the particle that gives mass to the matter. Earlier it was just a theory but now, The God Particle actually exists. Researchers claimed that if the collider succeeds in producing the Higgs Boson, it is predicted that it will create a second particle, called the Higgs singlet, at the same time.
According to Weiler and Ho’s theory, these singlets should have the ability to jump into an extra, fifth dimension where they can move either forward or backward in time and reappear in the future or past. The singlet is just a technical term used for a particle that doesn’t interact with the matter in the way we knew until today.
Wait, the fifth dimension? How many dimensions are there?
According to M-theory, or the so-called “theory of everything,” there are as many as 11 dimensions, of which our universe uses only four, time being the fourth one. But the Higgs singlet, if it exists, is theoretically not restrained by the basic laws of physics that govern our universe.
Scientists believe that if this atom smasher can create the Higgs Boson and it gives mass to the matter produced by the atom smasher, then The Higgs Singlet (this matter with mass) will be able to travel through space and time. The Higgs Singlet can travel to other dimensions and then come back to our dimension. By traveling through the hidden dimension, Higgs singlets could re-enter our dimensions at a point forward or backward in time from when they exited.
“One of the attractive things about this approach to time travel is that it avoids all the big paradoxes. Because time travel is limited to these special particles, it is not possible for a man to travel back in time and murder one of his parents before he himself is born, for example. However, if scientists could control the production of Higgs singlets, they might be able to send messages to the past or future.”
– Professor Thomas Weiler
So with the discovery of the God particle, time travel will not just be possible but will be in our reach too and won’t just stay in theories. Researchers claim that this study does not deal with sending humans into the past but sending information backward or forward in time using Higgs Singlet.
So What Next?
Scientists want to see if monitoring the Hadron Collider, would result in the sighting of Higgs Singlet particles and its product, Higgs boson, appearing. If this succeeds, they will be able to send the particles produced back in time and make them appear before their collision. That is how the LHC can act as a potential time machine. Something mind-boggling right? Well, it has to be.

El misterioso viaje de Eva Perón y el tesoro de los nazis
Evita Perón y los nazis. Miles de judíos asesinados y expoliados. Un tesoro, un viaje misterioso, una fortuna escondida en un banco de Suiza. No falta un solo ingrediente para que triunfe la leyenda.
El misterioso viaje de Eva Perón y el tesoro de los nazislarazon
El general Perón y su esposa, Evita, tenían en los fondos de un banco de Suiza una considerable fortuna en joyas, cuadros y diversos objetos de valor. Provenía de familias ricas judías asesinadas en campos de concentración y había estado «a buen recaudo» en las mansiones de siete de las más adineradas familias de Europa. Tras la caída del régimen nazi estos objetos se habían convertido en una peligrosa prueba de cargo, por lo que estos ricos entre los ricos decidieron donárselos a Perón como premio al apoyo que había dado a los dirigentes nazis.Aunque el tesoro estuviese bien protegido, nunca está de más supervisarlo de primera mano y comprobar que cada una de las piezas está donde debería estar. Para eso viajó Eva Perón a Suiza en 1947, en una misión internacional con una confusa finalidad oficial y envuelta en algún que otro incidente.Esta es la teoría, a mitad de camino entre la leyenda urbana y la investigación periodística, que ha resucitado un libro en Argentina («El heredero del General. La desconocida historia de Mario Rotundo», de Miguel Prenz), y que, como siempre, ha traído la controversia.Adolf Eichmann o Josef MengeleEl misterioso viaje de la segunda esposa de Perón está lleno de interrogantes, como lo están todos aquellos que sobrevolaron alrededor del patrimonio de los Perón. El primero de ellos es el propio Mario Rotundo, presidente de la fundación por la paz y la amistad de los pueblos, y a quien Juan Domingo Perón legó todos sus bienes. ¿Por qué lo hizo? Nadie ha conseguido hasta ahora aportar una respuesta convincente.En alguna ocasión, Perón habló del «origen japonés y alemán» de los bienes que el gobierno argentino se había apropiado. Durante años las asociaciones judías han seguido la pista de este dinero, de procedencia judía, y han denunciado que el gobierno peronista ayudó a escapar y escondió en suelo argentino a algunos de los jerarcas más sanguinarios del nazismo, como Adolf Eichmann o Josef Mengele.El botín nazi en ArgentinaEl preciado tesoro desaparecido de la Alemania perdedora estaba compuesto por infinidad de lingotes de oro en los que los nazis habían fundido las joyas y objetos que habían ido robando casa a casa, familia a familia, judío a judío. Había además cuadros, objetos preciosos y esculturas que habían ido catalogando y repartiendo. Una parte de ese botín pudo haber acabado en Argentina, como premio a tan entregado gobierno. La otra, en los fondos de un banco suizo.La pista suiza de Eva Perón ya ha sido abordada anteriormente, entre otros por varios reportajes de la televisión helvética y por los medios de comunicación argentinos, aunque aún hay muchas incógnitas por resolver. Uno de los supervivientes del campo de concentración de Dachau, José Jakunovich, desveló al diario La Nación que «en el libro sobre el juicio de Nuremberg hay un documento importantísimo. Es una carta de un jerarca nazi a otro, escrita antes del fin de la guerra, y en la que le dice: "Perón tiene una amiga que nos va a ser de gran utilidad. Se llama Eva". Ella todavía no se había convertido en su esposa».
Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.[12][13] In 1905, he published four groundbreaking papers, sometimes described as his annus mirabilis (miracle year).[14] These papers outlined a theory of the photoelectric effect, explained Brownian motion, introduced his special theory of relativity—a theory which addressed the inability of classical mechanics to account satisfactorily for the behavior of the electromagnetic field—and demonstrated that if the special theory is correct, mass and energy are equivalent to each other. In 1915, he proposed a general theory of relativity that extended his system of mechanics to incorporate gravitation. A cosmological paper that he published the following year laid out the implications of general relativity for the modeling of the structure and evolution of the universe as a whole.[15][16]
In the middle part of his career, Einstein made important contributions to statistical mechanics and quantum theory. Especially notable was his work on the quantum physics of radiation, in which light consists of particles, subsequently called photons. With the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, he laid the groundwork for Bose-Einstein statistics. For much of the last phase of his academic life, Einstein worked on two endeavors that proved ultimately unsuccessful. First, he advocated against quantum theory's introduction of fundamental randomness into science's picture of the world, objecting that "God does not play dice".[17] Second, he attempted to devise a unified field theory by generalizing his geometric theory of gravitation to include electromagnetism too. As a result, he became increasingly isolated from the mainstream modern physics. His intellectual achievements and originality made Einstein broadly synonymous with genius.[18] In 1999, he was named Time's Person of the Century.[19] In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, Einstein was ranked the greatest physicist of all time.[20]
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm,[21] in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire, on 14 March 1879.[22][23] His parents, secular Ashkenazi Jews, were Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer, and Pauline Koch. In 1880, the family moved to Munich's borough of Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, where Einstein's father and his uncle Jakob founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a company that manufactured electrical equipment based on direct current.[21] He often related a formative event from his youth, when he was sick in bed and his father brought him a compass. This sparked his lifelong fascination with electromagnetism. He realized that "Something deeply hidden had to be behind things."[24]
Albert attended St. Peter‘s Catholic elementary school in Munich from the age of five. When he was eight, he was transferred to the Luitpold Gymnasium, where he received advanced primary and then secondary school education.[25]
