Quite the contrary... Scientist are trying to find the most simple explanations. Everywhere you can read that this-and-that-scientist is talking about simplicity=beauty.. Just because this explanation seems complicated to the rest of us who are not into those problems, does not mean the things are over-complicated. Maybe we lack the tools (math) to understand what they are talking about. I know, because when I was good in math (and that was a long time ago) everything seemed so simple :-)
What I do since and now for living (electronics engineering) does not require even 1/100 of what I learned at school then.. but the "feeling" still remains...
