So is there anyone out there (preferably in Brighton, but hey we've got the internet) who deeply understands Gödel's Incompleteness theorems, and Einstein's special and general theories of relativity enough to explain them to me in depth (I have a superficial understanding only) AND then to collaborate on a play or short story something like Michael Frayn's Copenhagen that imagines the conversations between Godel and Einstein as they walk between buildings at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in New Jersey in the early 1940s and on to Einstein's death in 1955. The play will concentrate on the platonic versus the logical positivist philosophical approaches, with references, of course, to the Bohr/ Heisenberg's rejection of physics being descriptive of actual reality( as explored in Copenhagen). Provisionally titled "No Dice". Any takers?
Of course the play will also be about friendship and insanity and their limits.
