A New Method for the Cubic Polynomial Equation

I present a method to solve the general cubic polynomial equation based on six years of research that started back in 1985 when, in the fifth grade, I first learned of Bhaskara's formula for the quadratic equation. I was fascinated by Bhaskara's formula and naively thought I could easily replicate his method for the third degree equation, but only succeeded in 1990, after countless failed attempts. The solution involves a simple transformation to form a cube and which, by chance, happens to reduce the degree of the equation from three to two (which seems to be the case for all polynomial equations that admit solutions by means of radicals). I also delve into my experiences trying to communicate these results to mathematicians, both at home and abroad
