I enjoyed Richard Feynman, myself, he wrote so the lay person could comprehend it.
Leaving aside the subject of Quantum Mechanics, I enjoyed also, reading and learning a bit, about fractals.
Fractals are amazing, and when one Journal said that they were studying oatmeal, and didn't elucidate on the oatmeal, I was sort of P'Oed, until, when eating oatmeal the next morning, I intentionally examined the oats and discovered that each oat had the little branch, like a tree, which had a smaller branch and then from that, a smaller, identical branch....
mark for later..
...I intentionally examined the oats and discovered that each oat had the little branch, like a tree, which had a smaller branch and then from that, a smaller, identical branch....
...which for some reason reminds me of this bit of de Morgan doggerel:
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
"Nothing. It's branches, all the way down."
