Just learned about this. A long read, but really interesting.

    I wish I were smart enough and/or educated enough beyond my undergrad Physics classes from decades ago to actually understand this. I get the big picture stuff, then as it gets into the details there’s always a point where I realize I’m decoding words, but I have no idea what the hell they’re writing about.

      If he was smart and fully understood his argument, he could explain it to anyone in terms they understood.

        A brief history of time didn’t come out until 1988. You implying that the ability to break it down, Barney style, is necessary to be smart or to fully understand something?
