There is a dimension between rigorous knowledge and what resists verification, between inner experience and the outer world.
It rarely has a place in a scientific paper: no agreed-upon term, no recognized right to exist within academic norms.
And yet it is exactly there that a scientist sometimes finds themselves: not as an observer or researcher, but as a direct participant.
Such deeply personal experiences are often described as mystical, a private spiritual encounter. A scientist faces the Unknown.
In this episode the experience of the prominent mathematician Vladimir Alexandrovich Voevodsky explored.
