So now I have a basic understanding of many of the topics in physics which have long intrigued me. I can't explain it all[1], but I can explain some of it, and I can understand most of it.
The experience has confirmed a few things for me:
1) I really want to learn more about Dark Matter (there's a Great Courses course on that, too.)
2) I want to review this material until I can explain some of the concepts upon request because...
3) People who argue for a "young" Earth (or young universe") simply do not understand the weight of science they are denying.
One of the other two courses I own {so far} will soon be in my car's CD player. I think I will listen to "Books that Have Made History..." next, to give my scientific brain a chance to absorb this course while my artistic brain concentrates on the next. This has been a great use of my time.
