Looking back over the years, the man has never written anything but gibberish.
It's a living.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
KJV Corinthians 3:19

You know, I never liked hard science in school, and thought it was not for me. Other students excelled in it, while I managed to just get middle-of-the-road performance in order to not look like a failure.
But I really wanted to like science, but some of the ideas in physics classes were so strange, that they admitted of nothing other than themselves. I then asked some of the wiser people who had done independent reading ahead of school.
They explained it was all "analogy". Those diagrams of particles aren't really about very small balls moving around - that's just a way of demonstrating it, and it's true nature was something different.
Long out of school, I again asked some of the same questions, framed at a slightly higher level, and beyond, it was still analogy behind the other analogy. They just told me that a layman like I could not fully understand, and that there was no other way of explanining it, other than the long formulas, which can only explain only long formulas.
I resisted asking them, "Well, do you feel convinced?" I read The Brief History of Time when I was very young, and in all these instances, I got the feeling that only physicists know what physicists are talking about. All of it is so insular, it's input for another physicist to use.
Maybe I am an ignoramus, but do you know what it feels like? Hearing more explanations, but feeling less convinced and less in touch? Why do we fund billions on something that is by physicists for physicists?

Wait until you hear some real physics, the kind that actually illuminate things and solve problems ... instead of just making them more obscure.
