Join me on a journey through the land of Operator Algebras. Walk with me as I read from the gospel according to Gelfand. Enjoy vistas of von Neumann as we discuss Connes' embedding problem. Experience the interconnectedness of math as we see equivalent formulations of this problem show up in surprising places. But wait!! Stay tuned for a twist ending thanks to a recent result in quantum complexity theory.
