Is Brian Greene the only tolerable "~le physics man who appears on TV and TED talks and shit documentaries about Einstein and QM and speaks about how we're all made of stardust"? I can't stomach Neil deGrasse Tyson and Lawrence Krauss. Not even Michio Kaku.
who?

>Is Brian Greene the only tolerable
No.
I can't stand any of these shows.
The only tolerable videos are about mathematicians lecturing about actual mathematics.
>no more Feynman and Pierre-Gilles de Gennes around to talk about shit that's at the same time accessible to laymen and interesting to scientists
kill me

This. If you want properly communicates science for laymen, watch numberphile or sixty symbols

back to short pants you go

That's because you're beyond repair.
Sean Carroll is probably the best, IMO.

If you want ot learn about modern physics Leonard Susskind has a couple hundred hours of lectures: http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses

What's wrong with Kaku and Tyson?

They try too hard to sound cool for the normies

My freshman science class was with Briane Green e (Columbia). The man is an accomplished scientist that is a joy to watch lecture. The class I was taking was for all students so it was very math-light, but when it came time to talk about general relativity, he gave lots of insight into how to think about the field and said everything very "technically" correctly i.e. not like a pop scientist but really like a man who knows his shit but is explaining it to his dinner guests. I gained a lot of respect for him and probably will be taking some classes with him later in my undergrad
t. physics major

Gosh, Kaku and Tyson are like, so mainstream, man. I like more underground scientists. Ones your little brain has never heard of, man. I hate when things I like become cool all of a sudden.. To me, that makes things become, like, uncool. You're such a brainlet.

Frontiers of Science is a bullshit course
Brian Greene is famous for being an arrogant asshole here at Columbia.
What year are you?
