Readings

Science measures everything, and tonight's writers are interested in what's left over. Whitman walks out of an astronomy lecture and looks up at the actual stars. Sacks examines a man whose brain can identify nothing by sight and discovers that neurology alone can't account for a person. Levi follows a single carbon atom through geological time and into his own hand as he writes. Each piece asks where knowledge ends and something else begins.
