‘Origin Lessons’
Studio 360 commissioned this short story from writer Aimee Bender. It has a modest subject: the Big Bang. To bone up on her science, Bender spoke with Nick Warner, a professor of Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics at the University of Southern California.
“Origin Lessons” is read for us by Kevin Pariseau.
