The hidden rules of physics -- In which I realize I don't understand physics anymore. I talk to friends and colleagues, see I'm not the only one confused, and set out to bring reason back to Earth -- What a wonderful world -- In which I read a lot of books about dead people and find that everyone likes pretty ideas but that pretty ideas sometimes work badly. On a conference I begin to worry that physicists are about to discard the scientific method -- The state of the union -- In which I sum up 10 years of education in 30 pages and chat about the glory days of particle physics -- Cracks in the foundations -- In which I meet with Nima Arkani-Hamed and do my best to accept that nature isn't natural, everything we learn is awesome, and that nobody gives a fuck what I think -- Ideal theories -- In which I search the end of science but find that the imagination of theoretical physicists is endless. I fly to Austin, I let Steven Weinberg talk at me, and realize how much we do just to avoid boredom -- The incomprehensible comprehensibility of quantum mechanics -- In which I ponder the difference between math and magic -- One to rule them all -- In which I try to find out if anyone would care about the laws of nature if they weren't beautiful. I stop by in Arizona where Frank Wilczek tells me his little theory of something, then I fly to Maui and listen to Garrett Lisi. I learn some ugly facts and count physicists -- Space, the final frontier -- In which I try to understand a string theorist and almost succeed -- The universe, all there is, and the rest -- In which I admire the many ways to explain why nobody sees the particles we invent -- Knowledge is power -- In which I conclude the world were a better place if everyone would listen to me.
