Reasons to be Cheerful: Street-Corner Science

People are still fighting wars, they’re still arguing whether evolution is real and whether we naked apes are burning enough dinosaur leftovers to cook the planet. If you’re a cynic, there’s plenty of reasons to be unhappy.

But the fact that we live in a world where a Nobel prize-winning physicist like Leon Lederman will sit down on a street corner and answer physics questions from passers-by? That makes me feel good.
