“I killed some people,” the prisoner said. “Back in, oh, I don’t remember. Was a long time ago. When’s it now?”
Thomas said nothing.
“Doesn’t matter.” The prisoner grinned, revealing yellowed and rotten teeth. “They feed me here, and leave me to my thoughts. That’s really all I want.”
“What do you think about?” Thomas asked.
“A little of this, a little of...well, mainly I consider things like quantum mechanics, string theory, the grand unification theory. Oh, and gravity, I’ve been thinking about the dynamic theory of gravity a lot since I’ve been up here. You know, no one really believes that, Tesla didn’t publish any research, but ever since Einstein’s relativity, no one pays attention. But I think he was on to something. It’s the magnets.”
