He's fun to watch and beneath that razzle dazzle, keep them entertained and tuned in, style, there is a very, very smart man.
There is plenty of highly educated scientists out there, but most of them can't explain much before putting me, at least, to sleep. When Bill Nye is on, I rage against the commercial breaks.

My high school Physics teacher was like that. He was a very eccentric German with a pointy goatee - very out of place in a bad high school the deep south. A brilliant man who explained physics with incredible visual metaphors that became unforgettable and made it seem so simple and basic.

I understood Physics very well until my first college class when clarity gave way to obfuscation.
