I babbled about the spectrum of sunlight, the upper atmosphere, and how light interacts with molecules of air. “Could you be more specific?” I’m describing how air molecules have dipole moments, the wave-particle duality of light, scribbling equations on the blackboard, and . . . “Could you be more specific?” An hour later, I’m sweating hard. His simple question—a five-year-old’s question—has drawn together oscillator theory, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, even quantum mechanics. Even in my miserable writhing, I admired the guy
