Wholeheartedly agree. I don't get the science nearly as well as I wish I did/could. But that isn't the point for someone like me.

There is such beauty in the concept, such elegance in the pursuit of the particle. It is events like this that elucidate that there is art in science. That such a complex thought can also be so elegant, to me, is art.

And to think that such a complex thought can be explained with so much simplicity, beauty and power.
