It *is* the subject, at least it's mine.  Walk into a
science class where the students don't know what real-
world event it relates to and start lecturing on special
relativity, and they'll fall asleep the same way I did
35 years ago. Start off with a clip from some big budget
sci fi film that shows NYC being incinerated and tell 
them that today they're going to learn how the H-bomb got its start in a tiny little mathematical equation, and see
the difference in their reactions.
