True Jason, and, IF you are interested, he has many of his papers and excerpts from his books online for you to examine. If not, fine too! My personal anecdotal experience is that he is one of the brightest minds I've ever met. His grasp of not only physics but all things 'natural' is just fine. When one adds to this his experience and education in things philosophical I have found him to be quite formidable. As an aside, I studied the Tibetan language with him for a short time while he was attending Amherst. I thought he had attended U Mass some too, but apparently I am incorrect here. He also knows Sanskrit, although not as well as Tibetan. He has translated for HHDL for many years even though he knows quite a bit of English.
