The following is a sentence extracted from a textbook:
He didn't do anything less Earth-shattering (pun intended) than completely change the way the universe was viewed.
In my opinion, it is equal to the following:
He didn't do anything which was less Earth-shattering (pun intended) than that that completely changed the way the universe was viewed was Earth-shattering.
My questions are:
1.Is the above opinion right?
2. Why is "change" but not "changed" used?
Thanks
