In summary, the conversation discusses a website called Sixty Symbols created by a university to promote physics to a non-technical audience. The participants have mixed opinions, with one finding the site terrible and another finding it cool. They question the target audience and speculate that the university may be aiming for YouTube fame.

My university have created this site to broaden "outreach" in physics. Some of them are pretty decent, but I personally think this one is terrible. Just wondered what you think to the idea in general.

Tbh I do not think there is. Generally aimed at a none technical background. I think they are possibly hoping for a bit of youtube celebrity.
