Finally, the greatest physicist in the history of theoretical cosmology faces off against an actor who agreed to be in Year One. In a match narrated by an extremely committed Keanu Reeves, Paul Rudd and Stephen Hawking take each other on in a game of Quantum Chess, a very complicated-sounding game from the minds at Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter.

We all wondered why they even bothered to publish that book, but looks like we’re the dumb babies now.
