Michele Angelo Besso (Riesbach, 25 May – Geneva, 15 March ) was a Swiss-Italianengineer who worked closely with Albert Einstein.[1]
Biography
Besso was born in Riesbach from a family of Italian Jewish (Sephardi) descent.[2] He was a close friend of Albert Einstein during his years at the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich,[3] (today known as ETH Zurich) and then at the patent office in Bern, where he helped Einstein to get a job.[4] Besso is credited with introducing Einstein to the works of Ernst Mach, the sceptical critic of physics who influenced Einstein's approach to the discipline.[5] Einstein introduced Besso to his future wife, Anna Winteler, the sister of Einstein's then girlfriend Maria Winteler.
Einstein called Besso "the best sounding board in Europe" for scientific ideas.[6
