The sad death of “A Beautiful Mind”

I was really saddened by the news of the death in a road accident of the mathematics genius John Nash (86) and his wife Alicia (82). It is tragic that two people who lived so long and, in their different ways suffered so much, should die in circumstances where it appears that simply usng seat belts would have saved their lives.

For most people, including me, the most vivid memories associated with Nobel Prize Winner John Nash relate to Russell Crowe’s portrayal of the  tortured academic in the film “A Beautiful Mind”. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it. You’ll find my review here.
