I loved the funny story you included about Planck and his chauffeur, even though it might not be true. It was a great way to show that really getting something and being able to explain it well are two different things. It just goes to show that even the smartest people can have trouble getting their ideas across sometimes. And it's a good reminder of how important it is to communicate clearly!

Legend has it, the two of them became superheroes, traveling around the world on their amphibious Ford Model T to fight scientific apathy.

I did hear this story before, and I remember thinking that it sounded too perfect to be true.

The superhero thing is 100% factual though.

Lest any time travelers see this and try to go back and destroy our superhero team, I will carefully edit the details of the story to change the identities of the heroes' alter-egos.

Instead of Planckman and the Driver (TM), we'll just have "Max Planck and his chauffeur." They'll never figure it out!

You need to say it was the Second Law of Thermodynamics that was the key to his investigation.
