Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein on Physics and the Questions That Make Us Human

A weekly newsletter by a publishing professional with a decade of experience. This is for writers seeking publishing tools, readers looking for great recs, and humans who love to journal, observe, and reflect.My first attempt at using Substack’s Recording Studio was with Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, author of The Disordered Cosmos and The Edge of Space-Time. I have had the privilege of collaborating with Chanda on the publication of Space-Time and have been feeling so proud to be a part of such important work. In this conversation, I dive right into as many questions as I can get out, staying mindful that I should not keep her for more than an hour. Afterwards, I was still left riddled with many more questions, wishing I had picked this one over that one; wishing I had asked it in this way over that way; hoping I made use of the space-time she shared with me. As always, Chanda was patient with my ignorance and made sure the science she cares so deeply about was accessible for my muggle brain (and maybe yours). What questions would you ask a theoretical physicist?
