It only took 180 pages to start talking about quarks (pronounced "kworks" apparently). But this part is extremely interesting. This is what I was hoping the book would be like when I picked it up.

It only took 180 pages to start talking about quarks (pronounced "kworks" apparently). But this part is extremely interesting. This is what I was hoping the book would be like when I picked it up.
This book had been interesting so far (even though it didn't start talking about actual physics into about a third of the way through). However, I get the sense that I wouldn't really like the author personally. In this section he compares the observational skills of people who don't understand quantum physics with the observational skills of a chinchilla. The man seems to have a "Smarter-than-thou" sort of complex, which I dislike.
