Description of talk from an exerpt from his
forthcoming book,
"This is
about the magical process of discovery both in the
mathematical sciences and in ones own
personal life. It is also about
struggle and overcoming personal
obstacles. By my own
experiences, I will describe how that
sudden flash of insight one has in
making a scientific discovery can be
intimately related to letting go of
personal struggle. When this happens, your
life, like mine, can suddenly
be thrust onto a new unforeseen direction
that you could
never have ever imagined in your wildest
dreams. I will describe how I
experienced a serendipitous event one
night in Wyoming that forever
changed my life."
