To reporters, he patiently explained some of the aspects of his lifelong project: the unified-field theory (an attempt to integrate the phenomena of gravitation, magnetism and electricity into one law). He then recalled a simpler discovery made a long time ago: the moment that decided his future as a scientist. It was, he said, the sight of an ordinary compass at the age of five...
