Long Answer

1. He is a “selfish savant.” He teaches subjectively—for himself rather than for his students. Sometimes his speech can’t keep up with him and he struggles to get a word out. Often the word is a “most unscientific oath.” (Chapter 1)

2. He is swept away by a daydream of creation in reverse. He imagines creatures, plant life, and geologic changes of past eras. He imagines the Earth dissolving and glowing like a star, and he imagines his own body has become mist. Hans grabs hold of him, preventing him from succumbing to the hallucination. (Chapter 32)

3. He reveals everything except the mystery of the compass.
