The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester

from The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories · host Scott Miller

The Laws of Physics State That Two Bodies Cannot Occupy the Same Space at the Same Time-but Dr. Halday Finds a Loophole! The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Alfred Bester was just 25 years old in 1939, already a devoted reader of science fiction for over a decade. When Thrilling Wonder Stories announced a $50 prize contest, Bester took his shot—and won. That victory marked the beginning of his remarkable writing career. Let’s turn to page 64 in the April 1939 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It's much later. The question is ... how late? Later Than You Think by Fritz Leiber.
