Would you have preferred this:

It's a more complete treatment of the subject, but assumes a certain degree of familiarity with concepts.
I'm having a hard time guessing your level of knowledge. If I get technical with the explanations, then I'm in danger of being pedantic. If I keep it simple, apparently I'm insulting your intelligence. There isn't much of a space for error in there, and if I guess wrongly, I would ask you to put it down to the fact that we're operating only by email and don't know each other. No insult intended.
P.S. "I feign no hypotheses" (Newton) is not a rejection of hypotheses. It's a rejection of feigned ones. That's a key distinction. You represent Newton as rejecting the Scientific Method.
