Science keynote speeches accessible to mainstream audiences

  • Emmy Noether and The Fabric of Reality - Emmy Noether made perhaps the most significant discovery of the 20th century. Noether’s Theorem ties the laws of nature – from Newton’s laws to thermodynamics to charge conservation – directly to the geometry of space and time, the very fabric of reality. things should bother you about Noether’s Theorem: (1) how come so few people have heard of Emmy Noether? and (2) why isn’t her theorem well known to lovers of science? In this speech, Ransom Stephens solve these problems and presents the Higgs Boson, now being pursued at CERN’s LHC and Fermilab’s TeVatron, in easily understood terms.
  • The Low-faith Concept of the Soul from The God Patent - Every belief – whether in accepted fact, empirically based mathematical science, or myth and legend – is predicated to some extent on faith. In this presentation, we examine a model for the soul that is inspired by well established physics principles.
  • The Big Picture and Big Decisions - A perspective-altering view of how it all works. By looking at life, luck and money in the light of different time scales, the Big Picture comes clear: How you got here and how to navigate to your greatest possible future by making The Big Decisions.

Writing topics

  • The Tools of the Writer and How to Use Them - To write stories and memoir that lock in readers the first step is to understand the tools. The second step is learning how to use them. Bring your story idea or manuscript and let’s get to work!
  • The Tools of Writing Clarity - Clarity is the foundation of trust between the writer and the reader. If the reader loses trust, is unsure of where they are in a story and must flip pages back, they put books down. This seminar distinguishes how the elements of the writer’s craft can be used to maintain clarity at every level – sentence, paragraph, chapter, entire work and in every dimension of plot, theme, and mood.
  • How to Give a Great Reading - Ransom Stephens has produced hundreds of readings and wants to prepare you. You’ll learn how to choose the right piece for each venue and time allotted and you’ll discover your strengths as a storyteller so that you can enjoy this opportunity to develop your audience.
