Abstract 
Author:
Douglas Sw
To communicate a physics theory requires teaching: small doses of storytelling that are technically and emotionally compelling. Starting from a Lagrange density, there are hours of partial differential equations to get to experimental tests of my unification of gravity and light proposal. 26 half hour shows are planned for community access TV and web downloads. One third of the shows will be non-technical. All shows will contain a comedy sketch. 13 shows were broadcast on Boston Neighborhood Network last Fall. One show, Why Quantum Mechanics is Weird, won a Best of Festival award in education category of the 2005 Berkeley Video and Film Festival.
