And how are wealth is inflated away coming out of my wife's work at Harvard and another theory about what is this place? And how do these different geometries come together which would be the subject of geometric unity. All three of these ideas met in level of resistance that none of us had ever anticipated or encountered and I think that's been terrifying to me to think about the idea of going up against the institutions.

However, almost no research University certainly almost no leading research University with I think the exception of the University of California Berkeley. When I did this calculation last year was under anything other than the presidency of a baby boomer.
