I am about as well versed in physics as a creationist is in evolution. Yet, Lawrence Krauss did a great job communicating to physics-illiterates such as myself.

Not a criticism, just agreeing with you that it's an excellent book and worth the effort. :thumbup:

I was just trying to say that if the greatest physicist in history died a virgin, then perhaps that's why a lot of people stay away from physics...due to the fear of never ever getting laid again.

I'm not sure if it has been positively shown that Newton died a virgin. Depending of course what you mean by virginity.
