But careful observers quickly realize this is no ordinary torch song. It's infused with subtle physics cues. I appreciate the production team going the extra mile to create a gem that might be lost on many viewers. So after watching the episode, I hit the Internet to track down the details.
Enjoy the fruits of my post-viewing web quest:
I found lyrics to Nick Goodman's ditty online. They had a few errors, so here's my corrected accounting.
You got a heart but there's no way of knowing
Can see where you are but can't see where you are going
And I'm stuck here still
I'm tangled up with you
I know I deserve you
I know you're my savior
But when I observe you
You change your behavior
So I'm stuck here still
I'm tangled up with you
This whole world can be...
So uncertain
But you can bet that I'll still be hurting
When you say our wedding vows to somebody else
Well I've seen some things
I've been around
But darling there ain’t a finer thing that I've found
I'll always be so tangled up with you
I'll always be so tangled up with you

And I did manage to craft a question set for The Secrets of Quantum Physics. Episode 1, "Einstein's Nightmare," gets us up to speed on quantum entanglement ("spooky action at a distance"). Episode 2, "Let There Be Life," takes us into the nascent world of quantum biology. Many people might not even know quantum biology is a thing.
