Feynman's reputation for this is notable because it is rare There are many people just as smart as Feynman when it comes to science who are not as good at writing in a casual breezy tone as he was, and therefore are not as famous

This I agree with. It takes special skill to write like that, which is why they are famous. But the number of times I've been told to "go read Butler you bigot!" is way too high, indicating that the best minds of this field are bad at communicating with the masses. Bit ironic

So don't read her, that's fine Just don't fucking pop off about her being an idiot because you don't get it

What you're saying is it is somehow easier to explain quantum physics than it is to explain inner workings of society to people? Get outta here.

I don't think it actually is particularly easy to explain quantum physics, which is why the vast majority of lay people who think they understand it don't I don't even mean in the sense that the explanation they got was non-rigorous, I mean they remember the explanation wrong

Like, God bless Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, etc for trying I guess but it's not easy to explain and even if you use small words people fuck it up I don't think I understand it all that well myself but I understand enough to know what they don't understand

It's not as much about words as it is about umm.. using the right analogies, chaining words a certain way? The best book I've read on quantum entanglement explained it in terms of dice rolls in different rooms. It was so simple to understand, it blew me away

Wow, sounds like they certainly did a bang up job communicating to you, look at what an expert you are

Honestly it's kind of ridiculous for you, as a "data scientist", to be talking like all of STEM is "your field" and that you have some kind of authority to say Hawking and Feynman are the gold standard of education in a field (physics) you don't actually have an education in

It's kind of amusing you think data scientists are scientists in the field of... Data? Also.. this is my anonymous account. I'd be a fool to list my credentials here.

You said you learned what quantum entanglement was from a popular press book that uses a metaphor about rolling dice, a book you can't remember the title or the author of, so yeah I'm pretty confident in saying quantum physics isn't your field
