Hans Christian Ørsted

By drawing a delicate thread between electricity and magnetism, I revealed a hidden unity in nature that transformed our understanding of the physical world.

Ask me about the thrill of watching a compass dance in response to a simple current, my philosophical wanderings from Rudkøbing to Copenhagen, or the friendships that blossomed among Denmark’s brightest minds.

Through the invisible forces I helped uncover, I trust I’ve shown that the wonders of science are inseparable from the poetry of our universe.
