Cool topic. New and long enough, within policy, Earwig finds no copyvios, QPQ done. I'm not sure if including the tables of contents is really encyclopedic, but that's beyond the scope of a DYK review so it's okay. For ALT1 and ALT2, the phrasing "is considered one of the greatest physics lecturers" shouldn't be made without attribution as it's ultimately an opinion. The original hook is suitably attributed. It meets the hook length rule if the (pictured) isn't counted, and if the promoter is picky it only needs to lose two characters. AGF on offline and paywalled sources. John P.
