Dr Jimmy has one aim: to discover the ultimate Theory of Everything (or become the first gay man to win a Nobel Prize in Physics). Why are waves gay? Particles straight? And quantum mechanics the ultimate textbook guide to being bisexual? Why are quarks queer? Tops difficult to observe? And bottoms are literally EVERYWHERE!! Dr Jimmy collides hardcore physics with hardcore queerness (and existential dread) as he scales the peak of all knowledge. So, join Dr Jimmy at the frontier of physics and prepare to be blown (away)!!!
