How legitimate was his conversion to Catholicism?

I know that JvN was immensely productive. But is it still worthwhile to read his original works? For comparison, I also like Newton's works, for example, but I still do not read Newtons original works either. Are there any of his works that are particularly original, well witten and understandable for mere mortals?

Reading your book right now and find it truly brilliant (I don’t know much about physics or maths, but still greatly enjoy it). I was particularly impressed by the chapter on the atom bomb, which also had a huge emotional impact on me.

My questions: What will you write about next? Do you have other books to recommend about “people from the future” or about the future in general? If so, which? Which (if any) other people from Europa that moved to the USA because of the Nazis should/could be studied more?

I would love to read your answers to these question if you find the time. Good luck with whatever you are up to, and keep up the great work!

JvN is such an interesting person. My favorite anecdote about him is this one:

> “von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.” -- Edward Teller

This is particularly impressive when you consider that the "rest of us" were the scientists of the Manhattan Project, in other words the greatest collection of genius in one place the world has ever seen.

John seemed special because he was not only one of the greatest intellects in history, but also personable, well adjusted, and the life of the party. His genius didn't come at the cost of social skills. Do you think he was unique in that way?

Soooo pregnant

Does our numerical system pose any problems in the pursuit of trying to understand the universe when numbers are involved?

I remember that a philosophy professor called John von Neumann the smartest person who has ever lived. Do you think so too?

When was the decade when JvN was most productive?

Someone said that JvN grew up in Hungary in a trilingual household, learning Hungarian, Hebrew and German- from a very young age on . These languages are different as it gets. Do you think this would be a reinforcing factor boosting his intelligence?

Which areas of science that he invented (or was productive in) did you study so far? Which ones did you have to omit because the field is so different?

What are some of John von Neumann's ideas "which helped seed the modern world"?

Maybe to back track a bit, is there any specific recommendations you would have for somebody in Canada who is a first time writer?

The genre is horror, and my goal isn't necessarily to make money off it, but rather maybe to get my name out there a bit, and share the story

I plan to start a website, with an optional donation e-book, and I'll probably do an audio book with myself reading it out

Maybe another way to put the question as well is, what do you recommend I DON'T do?

Congrats!! Honestly if I was shopping a book around I wouldn’t even bother to network since any lit agent is simply going to want to get to the point of your pitch and move on if it’s not a good fit. There isn’t a one size fits all agent or agency, so the best one is what’s best for your book, your genre. I recommend a lot of research. You can pay for a publishers marketplace account and look up every agent by genre, see the deals they’ve gotten, see they’re ranking, etc. just set aside time for agent research and compile a good list.

I've been working on writing a novel for the past while, I have about ~200 pages written

What suggestions do you have for somebody looking to try and publish for their first time?

Any specific networking, agencies, publishers you suggest I reach out to?

Figures, no worries.

Unfortunately, no, after reading the link I’d pass on any project with this subject matter.

Potentially

Are you asking to hire me to write on this topic?

You do have the choice between accepting and rejecting them though. Hence my question if that would be something that would interest you in working on.
