Asimov had a genius for explaining complex scientific theory and mathematics so well that even dunderheads could understand. He was a great writer, one of the three greats from the golden age of science fiction. He wrote hundreds of books on numerous topics.

I heard Asimov give a talk once (at my synagogue), and, during the question period, a woman asked him, "When are you scientists going to invent a device to end war?"

Without missing a beat, Asimov replied, "Madam, we have. It's called the book. It's not my fault if too few people use it."
