He is incredible at bringing out the sense of wonder in physics, even for someone like me who scraped through one physics-for-poets class in college. (He’s also an incredible writer. And most importantly, he uses the Simpsons to illustrate his points.)

Science is wonderfully magically weird! I hated it at school but have recently turned into a sort of quantum geek!
The Roald Dahl quote is great isn’t it… I illustrated it some years ago, you can see here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36774729

Especially the part about time travel and the collider sabotaging itself. Thinking about that made me dizzy. Thanks for an interesting post, and for intertwining science, magic, and Roald Dahl. *applause*
