003: Video

[It's after the night siren and Bruce is looking frazzled, irritated, and... like he forgot that he'd been getting ready to sleep, since he's wearing boxers and glasses and apparently nothing else. As he settles his NV, a pair of mice skitter across the desk he's set it on. There are little movements in the background and Bruce has to stop and hop around, cursing under his breath as something apparently runs over his foot.]

Okay, look, the Darkness thing I'm up on, but is it common for random objects like, say, my pillow to turn into mice?

Oh, I mean Pinewood Derby. It's when you make your own race car out of a block of pinewood and plastic wheels and have a race to see which one is the fastest.

[hulkbusted]

You'd be surprised how much physics can help you with things like that.

[therightchoice]

I thought physics is about reading your mind.

[ ... seriously. ]

[hulkbusted]

[That surprises a laugh out of him.]

That's psychics. Physics is about how things move - cars, people, even light.

[therightchoice]

Oh. They sound the same. So it's like measuring speed?

[hulkbusted]

That's part of it, and what things do when they bump into each other, and why a paper airplane moves differently than a wadded up paper ball when you throw them.

Physics gets down into the things that make the universe and gives us the math to understand them.

[therightchoice]

[ Wow. That's deep. ]

What about wormholes?

[hulkbusted]

I thought you didn't know anything about physics. [He's teasing a little.]

[therightchoice]

I saw the Twilight Zone. Wormholes are part of the universe.

[hulkbusted]

Wormholes aren't my specialty. Radiation's my specialty, especially gamma radiation.

[therightchoice]

[ If you just said the word nuclear, Jesse might have understand the gist of it. So he just has this confused frown. ]

Gamma?

[hulkbusted]

[Sadly Bruce isn't used to trying to bring things down to an 11-year-old's level.]

It's a kind of radiation that can be harmful to humans. I used to work on ways to try to protect people from it.
