As a physics graduate, I always knew the explanation was incomplete (like all analogies, they have to break down somewhere), but laying them out like this was quite surprising.

I've not read his book, but seeing an endorsement by Sean Carroll (a great physics communicator I've seen a few times on the YouTube channel Sixty Symbols), I'm very tempted to get a copy.

I am reading his book. It's quite good, for example I'd never had a good understanding for why the high tides are every twelve hours, and he explains that well in a paragraph. On the minus side, he does cover a lot of things that someone reading a book like this probably knows, and he uses a lot of badly written dialogue.
