4, 3, 2, live. Mr. Kraus, how are you, sir?

Great, it's great to be here.

I have been enjoying your latest book, but I do have to tell you, I think you broke my brain with gauge symmetry I had to go over that about 30 or 40 times

Try to figure out what that means and how that works and well it's amazing you did it breaks our brains I put it in there

in spite of the fact it's hard that part is hard but it is so central to the way we

think about the world nowadays I thought I got to try and explain it and I was I spent I broke my own brain trying to think of ways to explain it and I figured

People wouldn't devote as much time as you did to doing it is so it's so subtle that it's that many that even physicists have a hard time in some

ways grasping the implications of it but it is so central the way we think

about the universe I thought if I don't include it for the inquiring mind like you, then I feel bad.

It is so baffling.

But you know what, it's one of the things that when I write books, I write, I do most things for myself in a way. And in every book I write, I do most things for myself in a way and in every book I write I usually learn something and always when you're explaining stuff you suddenly most teachers say the first time they understand anything is when they teach it.

And Gage symmetry, I'd never thought of real time they understand anything is when they teach it.

And Gage Cemetery, I'd never thought of really how to explain it.

And I tried to explain to my editor, which was great because she didn't know any science and

she kept not understanding it. and then I came up with this

explanation involved these chessboards which is still subtle but I realized

afterwards it was kind of neat because when I developed this explanation for

great symmetry I not only understood in a new way, but I realized,

gee, I now understood physically if I'd been, if I'd had this explanation before, I could

have predicted this Higgs mechanism and all the things I only see mathematically all come out of the of the picture I gave so I loved that

I was it's a new way for me to think about the world that I didn't before.

Well most of what you guys do is almost like another language to someone like myself and what this seems to be this
