The Edge of Space Time with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

When the world gets to be too much, contemplating the endless wonder and beauty of the cosmos can be a huge relief. After all, we’re insignificant in the grand scale of space and time. But cosmic thinking can also teach us so much about ourselves. This week, Adam sits with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, professor of physics and faculty member in women’s and gender studies at the University of New Hampshire, to talk about the truths we uncover about ourselves when we search for the truths of the universe. Find Chanda’s new book, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie, at factuallypod.com/books
