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.

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?
