The Man Who Knew Infinity

I had a lot of catching up to do.

There I became a good student, and it was then when the biography of Ramanujan came out called The Man Who Knew Infinity.

Maybe it was a sign.

Maybe I was meant to follow Ramanujan.

then, then there's also the problem of there... how do you reconcile, you know, the life of the mind, let's say, with the needs of the body? Uh, so, uh, uh, I was also very, very affected as a kid by reading biographies of scientists, uh, especially, uh, Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges.

Uh, uh, The Man Who Knew Infinity, which is a biography of Rom- of, uh, Ramanujan.

Um, and then, uh, I read, uh, uh biographies of Feynman and of course his, his, his autobiographies.

Um, and because I felt like this is the world that I am trying to enter, right? Like I sort of, I sort of came too late for, you know, all these sort of defining events of the 20th century, right? Where, you know, science started, you know, doing things it had never done before, mattering to the wider world in a way that it never had before.
