It reminds me of the beginning of the brilliant E = mc squared; A biography of the world’s most famous equation, written by David Bodanis, where the author describes his inspiration for writing the book:

A while ago I was reading an interview with the actress Cameron Diaz in a movie magazine. At the end the interviewer asked her if there was anything she wanted to know, and she said she’d like to know what E = mc squared really means. They both laughed, then Diaz mumbled that she’d meant it, and then the interview ended.

All the material required to make Leaving Cert Physics a fascinating subject already exists – all we have to do is bring it together.
Don’t hold your breath.
