I think it is the simplicity of the math that to me "fools" folk . I am a nuts and bolts kinda guy so of course it will perplex me. I mean one gets a little less confident in ones intelligence when presented with something all seem to "get" as a group but individually people will say and I quote a past remark from someone who helps me understand the concept..." but no man can understand space time"... and others when I reach the point of "well how does this work in the real world" I get told I should go to the Quantum Mechanics side of the room . AND there are experimenters journalists commontators (with invalid input ) who in seeking to jump on the band wagon cloud the issue further for folk like me.
Still how nice to have a question that presumably will keep me occupied until the end of my days. Already in my pursuit I recon I have read more than if I had of taken the subject at Uni... which leaves me realising I now I know less than when I started ..even though I actually know more . But relatively I know little.
Thanks again
