So why aren't they're flying cars? You just jumping right in. You don't say hi, you don't say hi you don't say how's the wife

how's the wife and kids how's life how's your book that's been on the time's

bestseller list for how many weeks oh that the astrophysics for people in a hurry that's been on the on the New York Times bestseller was for 67 weeks. That's pretty intense. It's crazy. That's that's a lot for any much less for a science book. And so that tells me, while all these trump books are wafting in and out, this is bobbing like a court, like a quirk on the ocean waves as the book of the moment that either praises Trump or

criticizes him, come in and off of that list.

So this tells me that there is this unserved hunger that people have.

There's a curiosity that this is serving.

And it's, to astrophysics for people in a hurry,

that's very purposefully

juxtapose it's like neurosurgery in four easy steps you know if you saw a book

with that title you'd have to pick it up because you wonder what's going on.

Well, not to kiss your ass again, but I always say this about you,

and I think it's important.

You make learning stuff about astrophysics fun, and that's what's missing's missing you know it's not that people

don't like to be educated that they don't like to learn these don't want to be

bored that's a perceptive point because, you know, think of the image we have of, let's say

you're in a school where most people don't go to college, you're in high school.

And then last day of school comes what do people do they toss their

papers in the air as they run down the steps schools out no but what's the rock song

schools out for summer was it forever never ever ever right so that attitude must mean the school

didn't train you to embrace curiosity, that learning was a chore,

and now the chores are over.

So I think the educational system needs an adjustment.
