Lederman talks about his passion for his work, Gauguin, Shakespeare, how he was able to prove his theory that the universe is not symmetrical, Niels Bohr's color spectrum theory, the beginning of quantum theory, Carl Anderson's discovery of the positive electron, his visualization of particles, the fact that no one has ever seen a particle or an atom, the cloud chamber, the theoretical search for the beginning of the universe, his image of the universe, the explosion that created the world, the importance of the disciplines of astrophysics and cosmology within the research into the origin of the universe.
