Gauss for the development of modern physical theory and especially for the mathematical fundament of the theory of relativity is overwhelming indeed; also his achievement of the system of absolute measurement in the field of electromagnetism.

It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages.”
