Hard science can be the most wonderful things you ever heard about. You merely need someone to explains it right.
Optimizing for truth sometimes creates something entertaining, but only by coincidence. I suppose you can say that the truth is entertaining specifically because it is the truth, but crazy stuff claims to be the truth too. Only someone who already knows the difference is going to appreciate the former more than the latter.
