On The Theoretical Side, I Was Concerned

I Became Almost Immediately Fascinated By The Possibilities Of Trying Out All Conceivable Reactions With Them, Some Leading To Explosions, Others To Unbearable Poisoning Of The Air In Our House, Frightening My Parents.

However, I Survived And Started To Read All Chemistry Books That I Could Get A Hand On, First Some 19th Century Books From Our Home Library That Did Not Provide Much Reliable Information, And Then I Emptied The Rather Extensive City Library.

Thus, After Finishing High School, I Started With High Expectations And Enthusiasm To Study Chemistry At The Famous Swiss Federal Institute Of Technology In Zurich.

My Father, Robert Ernst, Was Teaching As An Architect At The Technical High School Of Our City.

A Brief Visit To Nepal Started My Insatiable Love For Asian Art.
