Bohrer ’10, who plays the physicist’s younger self. As Oppenheimer & Co. come closer to perfecting the “destroyer of worlds,” the biblical Adam (David F. “Ricky” Kuperman ’11) and Eve (Sarah T. Christian ’11) arrive to reflect on the Earth?...
...second act, Feynman follows his departed Eurydice to the underworld, where the loudspeaker that greets him turns out to be very funny: “Welcome to Hell! Where the local time is . . . irrelevant.” Tied to nothing but Videt’s own imagination, Feynman??s performance of the Orpheus myth doesn’t work so well—it’s the one time the word “pretentious” skidded across my brain...

Another story involves a Biblical Adam and Eve, echoed by a modern Adam, a painter, and Eve, his lover and one of Feynman??s students. The final thread involves the mythical Orpheus and Eurydice.

These stories act as explanations...
