I watched this the other day, and couldn't help but grin as he somewhat nervously revealed why he has spent so much time and effort on this project: Physics. Once a physicist, always a physicist I suppose.

I don't know what to think about NKS though. It sounds good in theory but where are the models? More fundamental work needs to be done if anyone is going to be convinced that NKS is useful.
