"but as a man he was so strange in every way that normal people can scarcely begin to understand him. It is perhaps most accurate to think of him in medieval terms as a consecrated solitary, intuitive mystic for whom science and mathematics were means of reading the riddle of the universe"
i find it rather amusing that people in the time period can't accept the fact that some people are just naturally smart and understand things a lot easier. If someone is smart they are defined as a mystic being or something really weird like that. I just found it to be funny. It's also interesting that someone in that time period made so many assumptions about the world and found them to be true. Even today, we haven't proven him wrong.
