WBUR's Meghna Chakrabarti and Prof. Alan Lightman discuss his new book, Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine. On the impact of an experience detailed in it, Lightman says: "I suddenly understood in a deeper way than I had before, the longing for the permanent, the absolute, the indestructible, the eternal, and that, of course, contrasted strongly with my experience as a scientist."
