I've read quite literally every single biography of Isaac Newton I can get my hands on and I enjoyed James Gleick's book. I'd agree that it wasn't very good at explaining the science that Newton discovered. But, I'd also say that if that is what you want then you should reach for a textbook or popscience physics book instead of a biography.

The human consciousness interpretation of the double-slit experiment put forth in your article jumps to fantastic conclusions while ignoring the mundane and probable ones. Most working physicists do not believe that human consciousness determines the outcome of quantum experiments. The general public's belief in the human consciousness interpretation is likely due to the complexity of the subject and movies/books that do a terrible job of explaining it. For example, the clip from "What the Bleep Do We Know?" featured in your article. That movie is famously regarded as pseudoscience by most physicists.

“Einstein believed in God so you should too.” I never set out to create content that debates religious apologists, yet it happens anyway. …
