"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

Story
Film and TV star Keke Palmer tenderly shares the Ojibwe folk tale of the first dreamcatcher and shows how its message of our connection to the natural world persists to this day. Bedtime stories are narrated by the world’s most celebrated voices and written with no beginning, middle, or end so you don’t stay up to hear what happens next. They're interesting enough to give your mind something to focus on, but delivered in a way that encourages sleep.

LOVE THIS! Works!
I thought I knew a thing or two about math, I thought I'd be interested and engaged. However, he lost me at Pythagorean and I slipped into a blissful slumber... night night.

out like a light
Tony Shalhoub is one of my favorite actors and now, one of my favorite narrators. This selection did exactly what it was meant to do, and I drifted off to sleep in no time at all. Thank you, Mr. Shalhoub.

I cannot tell you if the content is any good...
I'm unable to comment on the quality of the content. I have listened to this 6 nights in a row. I've yet to stay awake beyond a few sentences after the intro.
Tony Shaloub's voice is great. After he advises to take a deep breath and get comfortable, it's a matter of minutes before I'm out like a light.

Informative and soothing
I love the narrator/actor's voice! He is so soothing to listen to and the information is very interesting as well. I have listened to this track almost 20 times and I remember something different each time.

Love the narrator for this little jaunt
I loved this little story and it is narrated perfectly by Tony Shalhoub. I would really love to hear more stories narrated by him. I will definitely be looking into more by the author too.
