The Somerton Man Mystery Part 3

We wrap up most of our interview with Professor Derek Abbott in Part 2B of The Somerton Man series, where we learn that when you engage a mystery, the mystery can engage you.

Tonight's Quote:

"Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,Before we too into the Dust descend;Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie,Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and—sans End!"

Quattrain 23 from Edward Fitzgerald’s translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
