"Most scientists, however, have more respect for narrative. Nobel Prize winners Steven Weinberg, Frank Wilczek, and George Smoot, notable theoreticians Stephen Hawking, Lee Smolin, Leonard Susskind, Lisa Randall, Steven S. Gubser, Brian Greene, and many others have written accessible books that utilize the capacities of natural language and narrative to represent the contemporary scientific picture of space and time. They are following the example of Charles Darwin, whose Origin of Species (1859) was written in the educated layman's idiom of his day, and even Albert Einstein, parts of whose Relativity (1920) may be understood without mathematical training."
