This is such a great system of teaching, whereby the Explainer has to explain to a smart person who is not an expert. Thereby testing the Explainerâs capacity to teach and causing growth in both the audience and the teacher. Plus, itâs just a really entertaining format. We are all in the position of your wife, who is asking questions that we would ask, making her a great analogue for your audience. Itâs a wonderful service you are doing for science, which deserves plaudits and recognition. Thank you for that. đ

Feynman was once asked if he could explain Quantum Electro Dynamics so that a lay person could understand it, and he replied, "No." As a certified lay person, I can say you have made some progress in that direction. Also, I have read most of Feynman's books, and they are extremely readable for those of us who are fascinated by the topic but have had nothing more than high school calculus. He was a fascinating person.

I love the part where you describe the Quantum Field Theory, and for that matter any science, as "a tool to solve problems" (16:32), and the only way you know it is correct because "it gives us answers that match reality" (16:46). For that is what, I think, science is really about. Making progressively more refined models of reality 1. to predict the future more closely, 2. describing/explaining reality more correctly, 3. enlarging our knowledgebase, 4. fidning solutions to current problems, etcetera. Thanks for this beautiful insight.

The "Waaoooommm" sound effect that plays everytime a 'disturbance' happens in a quantum field is fantastic.
