Markov removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He was extremely tired, but he felt himself close to a break through. He spent that last seventy two hours thinking, running formulas and counter formulas, removing, adding, replacing and redoing functions. The theory of Relativity was drifting in a corner of his brain. he knew it was relevant, he just hadn't figured out how yet.

The scientist removed his glasses once again to rub his eyes then placed them back on. He pulled away from the computer and rolled off into the hallway. "Here goes nothing."
