[@welstnitmere3583]

To me, it just looked like the physicist felt a mixture of awkward/irk because the kid kept talking about what he knew without being asked, which makes it hard for the physicist to continue what he needed to explain (for the viewers). Kids naturally lack awareness and the physicist didn't want to react negatively towards it.

Having a PhD means you're good at understanding things, not necessarily explaining, it''s quite impressive that he could explain his field at different levels.

[@TempuraFriedJoystick]

The entire goal of understanding is to be able to explain - if you can't properly explain the topic, you don't understand it enough yourself, especially in a field as complex and yet easy-to-analogize as physics. The maths behind physics is important, sure, but the real meat is in the conceptualization and the ability to tie topics together, even when it might not seem related on the surface. In other fields, you might be able to get away with not being great at explaining your topic (I don't know - I am, shockingly, a physicist, lol), but you can't do that in physics. Everything connects to everything else, and the whole point of the field is to draw those lines.

[@3mpt7]

@@TempuraFriedJoystick ...Wait. Can you explain that to educators? I'm pretty sure they operated on the principle of 'Just do the maths; don't worry about the reason why it works; the goal is to increase your marks on the exams'--and by pretty sure, I mean that's as close to an exact quotation as I can remember, whilst I was still in secondary education.

[@TempuraFriedJoystick]

@@3mpt7 I suppose it would definitely depend on your school. I was very lucky to have an AP Physics teacher in high school and a wide faculty of physicists in college who were extremely passionate about the topic.

A lot of the times the things we think of as fact end up being wrong and is why a lot of "science" is just more likely theories with enough concurring data to make them believable.
