I'm your host, Willow Defabaugh, and this is the Nature of
I have been joking for a week now that I am prepping for an interview with a particle physicist, even though I do not understand particle physics.
But it turns out that is the right way to go into a conversation with Chanda Prescott Weinstein.
They have a way of describing the cosmos and the fabric of space-time that feels like you're accompanying Alice through the looking glass.
revealing a universe that is senseless at times, strange, and full of wonder.
She also points out that looking at the cosmos and widening our view can grant us a perspective, particularly at a time when everything feels so overwhelming.
I'm Willa Defabaugh, and this is The Nature Of, where we look to the nature of our world for wisdom and ideas that change the way we live.
And this week, that extends to the cosmos at large.
I'm sitting down with Chanda Prescott Weinstein to talk about her new book, The Edge of Spacetime, and to ask my most pressing questions about the universe.
Chanda, thank you so much for being here and joining us on The Nature Of.
I have to say you are the first cosmologist and the first particle physicist on the show.
As someone who looks at the origin and evolution of space-time, no small thing, by the way, and everything inside of it, can you just start by gently explaining how did our universe begin?
We have a little bit of a framework that we have now established for how the universe got here.
What is one of your favorite facts about the universe that still blows your mind to this day?
