I write about our new Closer To Truth series, "Breakthroughs!", which will focus on mathematics as truth, mathematical breakthroughs, and the nature of scientific breakthroughs. We'd love to interview you. We will film in New York. Below is the form email describing "Breakthroughs!" and Closer To Truth. If you agree, CTT producer/director Peter Getzels and team will coordinate logistics when you are at NYU. Best regards, Robert Robert Lawrence Kuhn Dear Dr. Gromov: I write to invite you to be interviewed on Closer To Truth, our long-running PBS / public television series and web archive that explores fundamental questions and features leading scientists and philosophers. (See below for a description.) Our physics episodes, for example, feature Steven Weinberg, Freeman Dyson, Frank Wilczek, Leonard Susskind, Alan Guth, Max Tegmark, etc. As executive producer and host of Closer To Truth, I'm pleased to announce a new science- based Closer To Truth mini-series — Breakthroughs! — which will explore, in 13 episodes, new ideas and ways of thinking in mathematics, biology, neuroscience, and more. Our orientation is the philosophical foundations of science, mathematics, and biology. If you might be interested, we would be pleased to discuss your possible appearance in the Breakthroughs! episodes pertaining to philosophy of mathematics and mathematical breakthroughs. We will be filming in various locations from January through summer of 2019. Should you wish to participate, our hope is that we might be able to schedule an interview with you at a time and location convenient to you. We would work together on content / topics / questions in your area of expertise.
