Not one word is necessary. I want to clutch my 15 year old and make him a bubble-chasing little guy again, for just a little bit.
Isn’t this Emmy’s cue to ask you questions about the large-scale structure of the universe?
If you really want to see them go nuts, you can get one of those motorized bubble machines. Most toy stores have them pretty cheap, and the continuous spray of large volumes of bubbles makes kids and pets wild with excitement. I’d advise waiting until spring and using it outdoors, though – the amount of bubble juice they hose around makes the floor pretty slippery quite quickly.
By the way, how many bubbles did Emmy succeed in eating?
You've read the blog, now try the books:
How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog is published by Basic Books. "“Unlike quantum physics, which remains bizarre even to experts, much of relativity makes sense. Thus, Einstein’s special relativity merely states that the laws of physics and the speed of light are identical for all observers in smooth motion. This sounds trivial but leads to weird if delightfully comprehensible phenomena, provided someone like Orzel delivers a clear explanation of why.” --Kirkus Reviews "Bravo to both man and dog." The New York Times.
How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is published by Scribner. "It's hard to imagine a better way for the mathematically and scientifically challenged, in particular, to grasp basic quantum physics." -- Booklist "Chad Orzel's How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is an absolutely delightful book on many axes: first, its subject matter, quantum physics, is arguably the most mind-bending scientific subject we have; second, the device of the book -- a quantum physicist, Orzel, explains quantum physics to Emmy, his cheeky German shepherd -- is a hoot, and has the singular advantage of making the mind-bending a little less traumatic when the going gets tough (quantum physics has a certain irreducible complexity that precludes an easy understanding of its implications); finally, third, it is extremely well-written, combining a scientist's rigor and accuracy with a natural raconteur's storytelling skill." -- BoingBoing
