I didn't mean to condescend. And while I am convinced online article won't inspire anyone to study a field as arcane and useless to most people as math, I was simply extending on parent's observation: a lot of content out there is written in a way that non-expert can't use, and experts have no use because it's too basic.

An individual seeking more information about physics will likely understand that complex math will be deeply involved.

The problem tackled by a pop-sci article shouldn't be to inspire the individual to develop a thorough background in math but to inspire a different way of thinking or to introduce new concepts.
