challenging informative inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

3.5

So smart, brilliant, how does one come up with answers like these? Awakening questions is important, and I'm glad he did more of that than giving actual answers — one should challenge their thinking from time to time. It requires great intelligence to be able to describe such complex concepts with simple words, yet still so much stuff about physics flew over my head that I just can't give this a higher rating it probably deserves.

Also I can't believe that despite being so smart he repeatedly ignored the role of Rosalind Franklin in the discovery of DNA's double helix??!!?
