"Only two things are infinite: The Universe and stupidity... and I'm not sure about the former."

- Einstein.

I created Quantum Boffin almost a decade ago to help students around the world and to encourage teachers to take a more practical approach to Physics education. At the time there were lots of videos on YouTube that explained Physics, but almost none that demonstrated Physcis in a simple, clear and unintrusive manner. The videos I created were intended to be used in the classroom: The absence of explanation in most of the videos is a consequence of this - the idea was that the teacher could add the explanation without interuption by me.

David Roberts gained an MSc in Theoretical Physics from Imperial College, London before completing a PhD at the University of Lancaster, specialising in Quantum Field Theory and General Relativity. He left academia to teach Physics in schools and currently works in Wiltshire where he lives with his wife and two children.
