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.

I`ve used this device for <a href=http://www.bodytherapy-mb.com> anticellulite massage</a>. My hips look better after two months of using. I advise it to all women with similar problems.
Where can I get this in text.....want to read it to my grandchildren...its wonderful
I found this brief origin lesson intriguing and would like to know where may we find this "much longer discussion" from which this excerpt was produced?

This was a great story. I greatly appreciate it and would love to have a transcript.
Yes I believe in the science that I was describing (and it rather more than a fairy story). It would seem from your comment that you have an alternative agenda. Can you please describe this alternative scientific pov that I seem to have neglected? We might both learn something from discussing it here ... providing that we are both really talking about science.
I would also add that the clip that was used here was a very small part of a much longer discussion (of about an hour) and so clips taken out of context might be misleading to all concerned.
I was hoping to learn something from this piece but as usual the prof blankly evaded the significant questions, Someone should have asked him if he actually believed the stories he was telling: twentyfirst century fairy stories. You shouldn't keep propagating these unsupported ideas without having an opposing scientific pov to challenge them.
