Less an explanation, more an appreciation. The question that was asked was "What is your favorite deep, elegant, or beautiful explanation?" That seems a lot different than how explaining how reality works in an understandable fashion. We like simple answers when reality is usually more complex than we notice. The consensus of the essays was that the theory of evolution seems to explain most of the important things in the world. There are some good essays in here, but it was a slog to get through this book as a whole.
