I LOVE THIS BOOK IT CHANGED MY LIFE

[@ConradPino]

This video needs a "Not For Sensitive Adults" trigger warning ... the f*** word.

[@pigo-san]

What do you mean?

[@ConradPino]

@@pigo-san Author's talk about a children's book featuring f*** jokes. I was astonishingly bored at the cafeteria scene and baled out.

[@CaltechAstro]

His opening story describing a fart that causes children to run away in a crowded cafeteria, while a bit crude, is indeed an apt analogy for the early expanding universe.

@@CaltechAstro I'll set the kidding aside. We agree on "crude" which is annoying but IMO this is a worthy book and I'm glad to see this channel lending it's support. IMO the combination of boring and crude will fail for many adults, hence the trigger warning joke.

[@CaltechAstro]

@@ConradPino Yeah, I will be the first to admit that the audience level for this particular video is younger than our traditional Stargazing Lectures. But like you, I do think it's a good book and has a similar motivation to other Caltech Astro events--to inspire and educate the public about science. Cheers!
