Some people think important subjects shouldn’t be made accessible to large audiences.

• I had a roommate who said you can't understand physics without understanding its mathematics.
• I had a teacher who said Indian classical literature must be read in the original Sanskrit.
• Ted Koppel bemoaned the journalistic trend of tailoring the news to the target markets of sponsors, instead of reporting what is important.
• Carl Sagan apparently earned the ire of scientists for his work on popularizing astronomy

I am of the opposite opinion, that important or complex subjects should be made accessible. Indeed, some great works of writing and graphics have had this very goal.

• The renowned physicist Richard Feynmann felt the need to make the theory of quantum electrodynamics accessible.
• Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking published books that allowed the layperson to experience wonder at how the universe works.
