Abstract

A wander down memory lane, from when I first encountered Goldbach’s Conjecture and my foolhardy attempt to prove it, to my exposition on time and free will. I explore the ancient texts of Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda to learn of new cosmogonies. I attempt to develop a ‘Theory of Everything’, get close and get excited, but eventually I realise that, due to uncomputability, my goal is stymied by Nature. With the help of two demons I examine determinism and wave/particle duality, and decide that Maxwell rules!
