Dude, you got a reply from the founder about his day job.

I like astrophysics even if I'm not smart enough to fully understand it. Read A Brief History of Time, The Elegant Universe, Michio Kaku is good at explaining high level concepts in abstract ways that laymen can understand. I ain't got much but pop sci books.

mk's awesome!

And it really helps if you have some one you can talk to. Talking about physics is one of the best ways to really grasp the topics because there are typically a couple of ways in which you can solve a problem.
