Nevertheless Feynman made many successful lectures to the public and undergraduate students and was able to explain things as complex as quantum electrodynamics in layman terms. Recently I tried explaining how Akka clusters work and what partitions are to a completely non-technical colleague. Not only was I able to explain the parts I understand well in a way that she understood, I also quickly found out there are parts that I don't understand at all.
