    "abstract": "In his monumental discoveries, the driving force for Einstein was, I believe,\nconsistency of concept and principle rather than conflict with experiment. In\nthis spirit, I would like to look at the journey from the classical to the\nrelativistic world as a simple and direct exercise first in recognition of\nuniversal character of universal entities and then carrying out the\nuniversalization. By this process not only the relativistic world follows most\nnaturally but I would like to conjecture that if Einstein were born in 1844 (or\nhad I been born in 1844 and had followed this line of thought as I do now!) it\nwould have in fact been predicted including existence of a wave with universal\nconstant velocity. That would have indeed been not only the greatest but most\namazing and remarkable feat of human thought.\n  Beating further on the same track of principle and concept driven ideas, we\nponder over to see beyond Einstein, and ask the questions: in how many\ndimensions does gravity live, how many basic forces are there in nature and\nwhat are the basic building blocks of space-time?",
