What: "I spend a large part of my life in the entertainment world, mostly watching television. All kidding aside, working in Los Angeles is like working in a salt-mining town; eventually, you're going to end up working in the salt mines"

What: " With infinite forums to post about your specific area of interest, Reddit's tagline is "The Front page of the Internet", so if until now you've been trawling around looking at other sites thinking that they're full of interesting and original content, a few weeks spent on Reddit will make you realize that Reddit is like the Rome of the internet, as eventually all links lead to Reddit."

What: "Agoraphobia is like a stalker. With stalking, the victim of the stalking generally has no idea. With agoraphobia, you are always aware, and that's frightening, stressful and disturbing. You never feel completely free or happy. At this point, I should mention that I have no stalking experience whatsoever!"

What:

"Suppose in the dawn of time there was a mixture - a soup or a blob - of protons and electrons floating in space [Concept 1]. Most of space is empty, because these particles are very small. The only force felt by the particles is the electromagnetic force, because it is long-range. The strong force is like glue on the surface of the protons [Concept 2]. If a proton hits another proton, it will immediately stick to it. But protons repel each other due to their like charges, so they never do. Instead, protons attract electrons, which quickly begin orbiting around them like planets, forming hydrogen, an atom with one proton and one electron. This is the basic material of the universe, and the primary element in stars."
