I re-read Science of the Discworld I last week & just finished Science of the Discworld II. Having now read them twice each, I still couldn't get to grips with all the 'hard' science.

I know it is kind of dumbed down for us laymen to understand but all the science hurts my brain! I would consider myself a smart person but detailed science doesn't interest me, and I just tuned out.

Eventually, I gave up on the chapters written by Cohen & Stewart, and only read PTerry's chapters. Which defeats the books' purpose I know, but sure...!
